Also, rest with forced deep breathing to obtain more oxygen, and drink fruit juice or eat simple sugars such as candy and oranges.

Head injuries can occur due to impact with hard snow or ice as well as trees and other objects. Helmets are an essential component of any snowboarder's protective gear, regardless of ability. Several helmets on the market have been developed specifically for sports such as skiing and snowboarding, including helmets designed for kids.

Snowboarders who opt for the stif fer lace-u- p boots are less likely to have ankle injuries, but may be more prone to knee injuries. The most critical thing any new snowboarder can do to decrease the risk of injury is to take a lesson from a qualified snowboard instructor before venturing out the first time. Snowboard instructors teach safety rules, including yielding the right of way and not obstructing a trail measures that protect not only the but all others on the slopes as well. Experienced snowboard instructors can teach beginners how to fall, as well as how to stay up. Both can be vital skills to have for an enjoyable day on the slopes. tftUii.
