Skiing Accidents

By Jodie Moss


When it comes to taking a holiday most people would consider sitting on the beach to be their ideal way of relaxing and taking a well-earned break. But for many people it isn't the summer months that attracts them to go on holiday, the winter season also brings out a whole different side of the holiday scene which revolves around the alpine industry.

Skiing is a popular sport among many families and jetting off to the ski slopes are just as much fun as going to the beach, however, skiing is a sport and for that reason is dangerous and many injuries can occur.

Chances are something is going to happen when you put a large amount of skiers of all different experiences levels on one ski field together. Falling over or running into a tree could be the problem for inexperience skiers. For people with more experience it could be tripping over another skier. Whatever the problem, a common occurrence on every ski field is a couple of broken bones.

It's not only the short term injuries that can hamper your holiday, but skiing can also produce a range of long term side effects and damage to your body. The knees are one of the most common areas of the body to be injured by skiing as this part of the body is constantly under pressure when skiing downhill. Different forms of skiing including moguls and slalom can put additional pressure on this area of the body and can result in long term damage.

Health insurance is incredibly important when it comes to thinking about going skiing. If you become injured on the slopes it is not as easy as putting you in an ambulance and driving you to hospital. If you are in a remote area then you may need to be airlifted to hospital and if this is the case the cost could quickly build up. The importance of having health insurance in remote areas is highlighted when it comes to skiing.
