Health Tip: Snowboard Safely
|
(HealthDay News) -- Snowboarding may look cool and be lots of fun, but don''t be fooled by the fluffy white stuff. You can end up badly hurt if you don''t take the right precautions. The American Academy of Family Physicians says the right equipment is paramount to avoiding injury. Most snowboard injuries occur on the hands, wrists, buttocks and head. To protect the wrists, wear well-made wrist guards and make fists as you snowboard to reduce the possibility of injury to open hands. And be sure to wear a helmet, especially while learning, racing and navigating unfamiliar trails.
