Skiing is a good project for recreation and fitness, people who have not played and have great interest in skiing are always worried that skiing is too dangerous and afraid of falling. So what are the chances of skiing and falling? How safe is it if you go skiing?

Is skiing safe?

Skiing is a relatively dangerous sport, the chance of injury is about 2 to 3 people per 1000 days, and falls are not uncommon in ski resorts. However, as long as you do not challenge the force of the ski slope, it is usually not life-threatening, at most, it is only a bruise, or fall swollen.

The highest frequency of injuries occurs on sunny days. For snowboarding, injuries occur more often on potholes and icy trails.
