Snowboarding, once seen as an extreme winter sport, has turned into a mainstream sport with more and more people hopping on the bandwagon. If you’re thinking about hitting the slopes this year with simply a board under your feet then there are some safety rules which you should keep in mind.
Wear the proper gear. One of the keys to avoiding injury is having properly fitting gear, which generally means having equipment selected for your size and shape. You will also want to get a good fitting helmet and wrist guards
Stretch properly. As with any sport, make sure you’re properly stretched and warmed up. Review the courses you’ll be following so there aren’t any big surprises on the way down.
Keep your eye on the road ahead. Avoid other people, trees and other obstacles. Avoid stopping (or falling) in the way of other people if possible. Do not pause in a blind area as you never know who will be coming up behind you. Only test your ability in small increments, a large jump in skill levels is just asking for injuries.
