Types of Injuries
Unfortunately, there are a wide variety of injuries that can occur while you’re skiing. Knee injuries are common as well as lower leg fractures and wrist sprains that result from trying to catch your fall. Unfortunately, very serious injuries can also occur such as head trauma, spinal injuries and even death.
How Do They Happen?
While there are many ways to get injured while skiing, below are the most common causes:
-Chairlift accidents
-Collisions with other objects such as trees, signs, fences or other barriers
