Found an old book on ski injuries entitled "Clinical Symposia" Skiing Injuries by Arthry E Ellison M.D. published Volume 29 Number 3, 1977. It is publised solely for the medical profession by CIBA, Dorval, Quebec. CiBA us a pharmaceutical compnay. There are many interesting diagrams and it talks about the various injuries sustained by skiers like boot top fracture, ACL, shoulder, ankle etc. What is interesting is that there are more injuries in powder snow than on ice.
In terms of rates - in this 1977 publication, a general injury rate of 6 per 1000 ski-man days. The rate is higher for novices than experts but there is also report that rate of experts are increasing. Women have more injuries 7.9/1000 compared to men 4.9/1000. But as expert women increases leading to lowering of women skier injuries. 作者: JamesBond 时间: 2011-1-13 19:11

女人比男人受伤的比例大?好像咱们坛子里男人受伤的多。 作者: kick 时间: 2011-1-13 19:25
Maybe we are not a "general" sample. There may be more men in the group and therefore more men get injured. 作者: Phoenixtear 时间: 2011-1-13 23:27
不是说了吗,女的是平均起来受伤几率会比男的高,但是随着滑雪技术的提高,到了EXPERT LEVEL,女的受伤几率比男的要少得多。大概是因为女的在初学者阶段,因为通常比较胆小,经常会出现重心太靠后太低的情况导致摔倒受伤,还有一个可能是肌肉力量较小,在某些摔跤的场合不像男的可以用肌肉力量把自己稳住不摔倒作者: snowspring 时间: 2011-1-14 17:40 回复 Phoenixtear 的帖子
Quite right. I think the rate is influenced by the report rate too. There may be chronic pain or injury which is not reported. I am only reading the book very slowly as my eyes are recovering from surgery. If I see more interesting things I will report. 作者: stevenwang289 时间: 2011-1-14 18:55
两年前和我一起滑过雪的一个同事讲,他可能今后都不会滑雪了。原因是他的膝盖由于打排球太多,伤的很厉害,现在打球都需要带着个brace。滑雪好象对膝盖的冲击也挺大,需要做些什么样的准备活动来避免受伤呢?
That book is quite technical and said that knee injuries can be very difficult to pin point where is the problem. However I suggest that he get a referral from a family doctor to see a sports medicine speicalist who can give him a good diagnosis. He should not just go skiing but may need some physio therapy to get his muscle strong so as to help the knee. There are exercises one can do lying down to strengthen the muscle holding up the knee cap etc. Knee injuries take patience for recovery. 作者: stevenwang289 时间: 2011-1-16 09:43
