Skating and tobogganing are more likely to result in injury than snowboarding, but when it comes to winter sports, downhill skiing is the riskiest activity, according to a new report from the Public Health Agency of Canada.
Snowboarders had a hospitalization rate of 550 cases per 100,000 emergency room admission records. However, downhill skiing caused the most hospitalizations, with 707 injuries per 100,000 records.
