skiing injury statistics

Skiing injuries are relatively common but often not as severe as one might think. Statistics show that about 2 to 3 out of every 1,000 ski days result in an injury. Most injuries are minor, such as sprains or bruises, but injuries to the knees and wrists are among the most frequent. While skiing can be risky, advances in safety equipment and better awareness of skiing techniques have contributed to decreased injury rates over the years. Proper training, wearing helmets, and following safety guidelines can significantly reduce the risk of injury on the slopes.
