Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Snowboarding tops skiing for injury risk

But the high injury rate among snowboarders is mostly due, he says, "to young, aggressive, testosterone-dripping males who think they have to do the biggest jump and the best tricks."

Snowboarders are twice as likely to get injured as skiers, according to a Vancouver study

so the tailbone takes the full force of the fall, injuring the snowboarders' backbones.... plus wrists and head injuries are more prevalent among snowboarders

Hence the advice to use wrist protectors and helmets, which I see a lot of boarders doing these days. Whether or not they are also wearing bum protectors I do not know....
The quote about "young, aggressive, testosterone-dripping males" by Dr Sydney McKnight suggests he might not be a very good "family doctor ". Young males are by definition testosterone-dripping and aggressive.
And charming, and noisy, and funny, and bloody annoying, and so was I when I was "young" (though maybe not charming).

I am no longer young and testosterone dripping... but am the proud owner of a fine beast wig... one or two grey hairs included.

Dr Knight's attitude reminds me of a doc we saw in Andorra last year. Getting a friends ribs x-rayed. The way the guy looked at us and all board/ski casualties yah think we were doin it on purpose. Probably a very well off man from us snow peeps.

Anyone else ever come across that kind of 'not another skier' attitude ?

Nosha did the riggors. Jimmy the ski guide was guilty of tremedous faceplants off the hut. Everyone else landed flat before bailing (purely for the camera as proper landings are boring!!)
