Going Skiing? Don’t Fall Down
18 Dec 2023
This winter, millions of skiers will ascend the slopes. And hundreds of thousands will descend in ski patrol toboggans. One study revealed that 75% of those injured had not received any ski instruction. Prepare before you head onto the mountain to make sure you have the strength for the sport. Know your limitations, and don’t engage in speeds or take on terrain beyond your capabilities. Falls when skiing commonly result in fractures, torn ligaments, and head injuries. And this occurs, unfortunately, from an outting that was supposed to be fun.
