These days of the Winter Olympics to see everyone passionate, skiing is also "passionate ordering", but we are far from Gu Ailing, the difference is not only 2 skis and 10 hours of sleep.
No, recently an orthopedic doctor said that in the two days of surgery, the number of patients injured due to skiing has surged. Many people have sighed: "At the end of the slope is orthopedics." ”

Ski accidents can cause ligament injuries, soft tissue injuries, dislocations, fractures, cranial concussions, visceral injuries, etc., of which lower limb injuries are the most common, accounting for more than 50% of all ski injuries, followed by trunk injuries, mainly waist injuries.
Therefore, skiing can not only rely on a momentary interest or a passion, we must be prepared to work, improve the awareness of safety protection, in order to avoid "snowboard out, orthopedics in place."
Why did you get hurt?
The causes of injuries in skiing are diverse, including both internal and external factors, of which the skier's own insufficient skiing preparation is an important cause of sports injury.
1
Too anxious, not enough to warm up
Before we run, jump rope and other sports, we will first warm up the action, skiing is no exception, through some basic exercises can exercise the body's local muscles, promote blood circulation, improve the central nervous system excitability and response ability, while also increasing the flexibility of the joints.
If the warm-up preparation before exercise is insufficient, and the various functions of the body have not yet been adapted to the state of movement, it is easy to cause muscle and ligament strains.
2
Look at the flowers, inattention
The ski slopes are white, and the speed of skiing is relatively fast, if the attention is slightly distracted, it is easy to collide or fall.
3
There are no points for their own level
A survey of a ski resort in Chongli District, Zhangjiakou City, showed that among the 400 seriously injured skiers in the entire snow season of 2018-2019, 64% of the damage occurred in the intermediate level, and most of them were at the primary level, their technical skills were not perfect, they could not effectively control the body in the sliding, especially the fast sliding could not be stopped in time, nor could they adjust the action according to the snow quality and the slope of the slope, and there was a little foundation to rush to the higher level of the slope to try, which caused damage.
4
Too nervous
For the more difficult part of the heart fear, the pressure is greater, only stare at the feet when skiing, do not look at the front and do not pay attention to whether the movement is standardized, it is easy to fall and injure.
5
Physical discomfort
Skiing is a more intense sport, the physical fitness requirements are higher, and fatigue and injury will lead to a decline in the function of various organ systems of the body, at this time it is very dangerous to carry out skiing.
In addition to the above internal factors, external factors such as insufficient ski resort management and improper ski equipment can also lead to sports injuries in skiers.
How can I avoid sports injuries?
Before skiing, be sure to make full warm-up preparations, the main parts are the shoulders, knees, hips, ankles, wrist joints and finger joints of the rotation and stretching of the large and calf muscles, so that the body feels slightly warm and sweaty.
Do not bring sharp objects such as nail clippers and fragile glass on your body to avoid stabbing yourself when you fall.
Do not fatigue or physical discomfort skiing, skiing is a sport intensity of the project, the consumption of physical energy is very large, should try to avoid in the state of fatigue, and to ensure the necessary rest and reasonable nutritional supplements.
Don't rush and pursue excitement, be sure to learn skiing skills step by step and steadily. Before skiing, fully understand the height, slope, length and direction of the different slopes, and choose the slopes that suit your level.
During the skiing process, pay attention to controlling the speed of skiing, in places where the slopes are crowded or have poor vision, be sure to glide slowly or stop sliding, and pay attention to keeping a distance from your companions.

If you are tired of slipping and want to rest, do not stay in the slopes, and do not leave your ski equipment in the slopes. If you feel that the ski equipment is abnormal during the skiing process, you should also stop and check in time.
Ski equipment should be brightly colored as much as possible, and after wearing it, let the designated personnel conduct a safety inspection to check whether the quality of the equipment is good and whether it is suitable for wearing on the body.
If you fall, whether it is forward or backward, the body center of gravity is as low as possible, if it is falling backwards, try to squat low, hold your hands on your knees, with your ass and back to the ground; if you fall forward, lower the center of gravity and slide forward with both hands and slide backwards, falling out of the feeling of five bodies throwing to the ground.
If not, just wear a few more small turtle protectors
(The little turtle "family portrait" can also choose other cartoon image soft protectors.)

If after a series of preparations, finally you are still injured, do not be afraid, the general damage can be relieved by cold compresses, if there is bleeding, you can first compress and stop the bleeding, if there is deformity, continuous pain, inability to walk, etc., temporarily do not move, waiting for professional rescue, so as not to cause secondary injury.
In the same way, if a companion or other person is found to be injured, first observe the situation, talk to the injured person, confirm whether his consciousness is clear, whether his limbs can walk on his own, whether there is bleeding, fractures, etc., can not blindly move the injured person, avoid aggravating the condition, can help him to call for help, as soon as possible to get rescue.
In addition to these sports injuries, skiing may also be frostbitten and snow blindness, so pay attention to wearing goggles and choose equipment with good warmth.
Finally, I wish everyone fun, enjoy skiing, and stay away from injuries
