This reflection participant profile developing 57% occur lower limbs, 30% upper limbs. The most common simple sprains (31 53%), particularly ankles (23 26%) knees (12 23%), followed by fractures (24 27%) contusions (12%). Compared skiing injuries, 2.4 times many fractures, limbs (constituting 21 vs 35% limb injuries), fewer knee 44% but more ankle 6% injuries). Snowboarding less severe than Fracture lateral process talus unusual uncommon can be misdiagnosed sprain.
