Do you have your safety gear for winter yet?

Appropriate equipment is critical to being safe. Poorly
functioning or improperly adjusted equipment is a
frequent cause of injuries. Bindings that are too loose
or too tight, as well as equipment that is improperly
sized or used on improper terrain, can cause injury.

Preventative equipment such as helmets can prevent
disastrous and even fatal accidents, even though resorts
do not universally require them.

Only about 48% of U.S. skiers and snowboarders routinely wear helmets. In terrain parks, wrist guards and elbow and knee pads are also recommended.

The use of protective equipment has been associated with a 43% decrease in the rate of head, neck, and face injuries.
