“…A failure of the prototype could lead to a malfunction of the sports equipment or even to an accident. The associated risk of injury of the test driver is unacceptable [4], making it difficult to carry out a test under real conditions.…”

The objective of this work is to develop a novel splitboard clip using fiber-reinforced 3D printing. Since the sport is practiced in alpine terrain under sometimes difficult conditions, particularly high demands are placed on the equipment and its development. On the other hand, splitboarding is still a niche sport, with comparatively low numbers of followers, which limits the budget for development costs. Therefore, the improvement of components and the development of new parts can benefit a lot from rapid prototyping. Especially the process of fiber-reinforced 3D printing using carbon fiber filament offers great potential, since the prototypes could be tested directly under real conditions. A 4-point bending test, comparing the strength of the new designed parts and of other clips, which are already available on the market, has shown that the new parts, produced in an additive manufacturing process, are not as strong as some other clips on the market. However, field tests have verified, that these new splitboard clips could withstand the forces of a test ride, harsh alpine conditions and so far meet all requirements.

“…The three most frequently mentioned explanations for non-use were: (1) wrist protectors are uncomfortable or even painful, (2) belief that wrist protectors may actually cause certain injuries, and (3) riders feel no need for wearing wrist protectors [35]. Dickson et al found similar results: 20 % of wrist-injured snowboarders surveyed who were not wearing wrist protection at the time of their injury acknowledged the potential benefits of wearing wrist protectors, but that they simply had not purchased a pair [78].…”

White Paper: functionality and efficacy of wrist protectors in snowboarding—towards a harmonized international standard

The wrist is the most frequently injured body region among snowboarders. Studies have shown that the risk of sustaining a wrist injury can be reduced by wearing wrist protection. Currently, there are a wide variety of wrist protection products for snowboarding on the market that offer a range of protective features. However, there are no minimum performance standards for snowboarding wrist protectors worldwide. The International Society for Skiing Safety convened a task force to develop a White Paper to evaluate the importance and necessity of a minimum performance for all wrist protectors used in snowboarding. The White Paper outlines the need for a general framework for a harmonized international standard and reviews the existing evidence. Therefore, this White Paper may serve as a common base for future discussions. The broader goal of developing and implementing such a standard is to reduce the incidence and the severity of wrist injuries in snowboarding without increasing the risk of adverse events, such as upper arm or shoulder injury. The European standard for inline skating wrist protectors (EN 14120) can serve as a starting point for efforts related to a standard for snowboard wrist protectors, but certain modifications to the standard would be required. It is hypothesized that implementation of a snowboarding wrist protector standard would result in fewer and less severe wrist injuries in the sport and could translate into more riding days for healthy snowboarders and significant health-care costs savings.

“…Ski camp doctors should know the basics of general medicine and pediatrics, as well as trauma management. 14 They should also be familiar with ski regulations (FIS 10), avalanche safety, weather reading, 15 proper clothing, and other subjects relevant to winter sports activity. For immediate evacuation of the injured, the SCD must rely on the local, established system.…”
