| | One way to reduce the chances of a shoulder injury is to try and land with your arms tucked into the side in a "parachute roll" manner when you fall - admittedly easier said than done. | | | The commonest injury is to the wrist, with such an injury occurring once every 1135 days, compared to a lower limb injury once every 3000 days - so you can see that the risk of an upper limb injury is about three times that of a lower limb injury on a snowboard. | | | Another way of looking at injury risk to calculate the mean days between injury - this is the total number of snowboarder days in a season divided by the number of injuries seen. |
