History Of Skiing And SnowboardingWhile today skiing is a sport cherished for its recreational and competitive qualities alike, at their inception, skis were a tool developed for survival purposes. According to an article from BBC travel, skis were used by early man to traverse difficult terrain. They continued to be used for transportation for centuries, and in the 1760s, the first skiing competitions were recorded by the Norwegian army. In 1924, the Winter Olympic Games incorporated skiing for the first time.
Forty years after skis became a part of the Olympic Games, another type of snow sport came into existence: snowboarding. The first snowboard was invented by a man named Sherman Poppen in 1965. Seeking an innovative way to have fun in the snow, Poppen joined a pair of skis into one long board that he then used to slide over the snowbanks around his house. This kicked off the popularity of the “Snurfer,” later to become the snowboard. In 1998, snowboarding joined skiing as one of the sports comprising the Winter Olympic Games.

The most common injuries sustained by skiers and snowboarders are the result of falls. Statistically, the most common snowboarding injuries are wrist injuries, making up 27.6% of all snowboarding injuries. The most common skiing injuries, though, are anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. ACL tears are responsible for 17.2% of all skiing injuries. The same study found that 21.8% of snowboarding injuries and 6.5% of skiing injuries occurred in outdoor recreation areas.
Injuries to the wrist are the most common among snowboarders, while injuries to the ACL were most common for skiers. Snowboarders also saw injuries to the shoulders, ankles, concussions, and fractures to the collar bones. Skiers suffered from knee sprains, bruises on the lower body, and fractures to the lower part of the legs.
The majority of snowboarding and skiing injuries result from crashes and falls. However, in some instances, injuries can result due to defective products. The presence of an inherent defect in a piece of equipment can lead to serious injury. In some cases, a product liability lawsuit can be brought against a manufacturer if they failed to advise consumers of a potential defect or omitted proper instructions.
