The Huffington Post has taken statistics from the
American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine
and compared the injury risks between skiers and snowboarders. After researching the data presented by the
AOSS and found that snowboarders have a much higher risk of injuring their back,
wrists, and heads. Furthermore, skiers were seventeen more likely to injure
their knees than snowboarders. The Huffington
Post is a world renowned newspaper and a very credible source to draw
information from.
