Some may attribute these injuries to the course which has been described as \u201cintimidating\u201d and \u201cintense.\u201d But the truth is, snowboarding in general can be dangerous . . . at least on some level . . . especially when traveling at high speeds.<br \/>\nFans of winter sports enjoy adventure, because the fun outweighs the risks \u2013 for the most part. As long as the proper precautions are taken, injuries can often be prevented.<\/p>\n<p>When a snowboarder falls, they land on their hands, shoulders, rear-end or head. With wrist and head injuries being among the most common outcomes of snowboarding spills, we consulted Lynette Carlson, ATI Sports Medicine Supervisor, for her knowledge on the subject. It just so happens that Lynette, a skier turned snowboarder, has experience with this!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI learned the hard way. I caught an edge, fell backwards on my wrist and broke it,\u201d shared Lynette.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t let it deter her from continuing the sport, and she now knows what to do, and what not to do, to decrease the risk of injuries on the slopes.<br \/>\n\u201cIf you snowboard, you fall,\u201d says Lynette. \u201cEven really skilled snowboarders fall, but you have to learn how to fall properly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>If the winter games are inspiring you to hit the slopes, follow some tips from Lynette to stay safe:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>DON\u2019T<\/strong>\u00a0try to brace your fall with your hands.<br \/>\n<strong>DO<\/strong>\u00a0tuck your arms in if you fall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DON\u2019T<\/strong>\u00a0challenge yourself to a new hill before you are ready.<br \/>\n<strong>DO<\/strong>\u00a0know your limits and choose the hill that\u2019s right for you, especially to stay in control of your speed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DON\u2019T<\/strong>\u00a0think you\u2019re ever skilled enough to forgo protective gear.<br \/>\n<strong>DO<\/strong>\u00a0wear the gear (helmet, wrist guards and knee pads) to protect yourself against bruising, concussion, wrist sprains and fractures.<\/p>\n<p><em>If you\u2019re experiencing pain, Complimentary Injury Screenings are available at an ATI Physical Therapy location near you.
