2009, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :The most serious sledding injuries were incurred after the rider struck a tree or another stationary object in 60% and 76% of injuries.25,26 Although the incidence of collisions with motor vehicles is low, these often have catastrophic consequences,26,27 with head injury much more common.28 Although many studies advocate helmet use for sledders, the efficacy of helmet use in sledding is uncertain, and there are no specific helmets designed for sledding..
Head Injuries in Winter Sports: Downhill Skiing, Snowboarding, Sledding, Snowmobiling, Ice Skating and Ice Hockey
2008, Neurologic ClinicsCitation Excerpt :Although head injuries represent 13% of all sledding injuries in general, they account for 55% of severe sledding injuries [4,22]. In most pediatric studies examining sledding injuries requiring emergency department assessment, head/neck injuries are the most frequent type of injury [24–26]. Among childhood sledding injuries, younger children (≤6 yrs) are more likely to experience head/neck trauma compared with older children, with a relative risk of 2.60 (P<.001) [24].
