I broke my Thumb Snowboarding. That and wrists can be typical injuries of snow boarding. On a snow board your two options are to fall face first or back first. If you fall back first you have a tendency to put your hand out. Try it....what will hit the ground first? Your thumb. I actually snapped the tendon from the bone. Cost $2500 in surgery to get it fixed and that was mine after insurance. The wrists are next to take the punishment. In my opinion snowboarding can be more dangerous but I still do it.
I switch from skiing after 7 years or so to snow boarding. It was a hard change and I almost gave up several times. I would say leg injuries occur more in skiing.
What else can I help you with?
Is nordic skiing more dangerous than alpine skiing?
It really depends on whether your talking about in the Olympics or referring to Nordic skiing as cross country skiing. Nordic events Ski jumping: is quite dangerous, but due to the steepness of the landing area, is not as dangerous as you might think. Cross country skiing: carries very little dangers. Combined event: carries the same dangers above. Alpine events such as the slalom, downhill event, super giant slalom ect...... Often feature high speed crashes, this is very likely to injure any skier, so i would say that alpine skiing is more dangerous.
