  • Title: [Risk of injuries in snow boarding].
    Author: Machold W, Kolonja A, Kwasny O, Fuchs M.
    Journal: Sportverletz Sportschaden; 1999 Mar; 13(1):1-7. PubMed ID: 10407957.
    Abstract:
    Survey of a group of injured snowboarders and analysis of their sustained injuries and risk factors in comparison to experience level and equipment. 55% of all injuries occurred within the first 7 days of learning how to ride the snowboard. The affected body region of 36% of all injuries and 53% of the severe injuries was the wrist. The primary mechanism of injury was through low-velocity falls on hard or icy snow, essentially a loss of balance with backward fall onto out-stretched arms leading to hyperextension and trauma to the wrist.
