SKIING OVER THE EDGE NIH STUDY 2010 5 year study of two large western ski centres Terrain park injuries more severe than slopes. More often male, non-beginner, age 13 – 24. More likely to involve head and back. More likely to require hospital transfer. Snowboard injuries involved head/neck, chest and upper extremity vs. slope involving lower extremity. The fixed leg position on a snowboard restricts lower body movement, and may lead to more impact into the chest and abdomen.
SKIING OVER THE EDGE OTHER COSTS Long term orthopedic disability (eg: knee OA from). Long term cognitive disability (eg: early dementia as a result of multiple concussions). Surgical/Anesthetic risks (anesthetic reactions, anaphylaxis, rare death). Accumulative radiation exposure (Multiple CT scans, studies suggest 1/450 CT result in a life tumor in paediatric population).
