It’s no secret that hurling yourself down the mountain at high speeds, with changing terrain, light and weather at every turn is a dangerous endeavor. Top German Newspaper Welt had a full double page spread on all the typical injuries that can plague skiers all over the world.
Top injuries include:
- skull farctures
- dislocated shoulders
- thumb sprain
- collar bone fracture
- spinal chord injury
- femur fracture
- meniscus/ knee injury
- ankle fractures
- muscle tear
- scrapes and scratches
Injury is all about PROBABILITY (not if, but when) and the more precaution you take in mitigating that probability, the more up-time you’ll have on the hill, the more stoke you’ll feel while shredding. Of course, who wants cumbersome protection that inhibits freedom of movement? Who really wants to lessen injury probability if it means being weighed down by bulky protective gear?
No one.
That’s why it’s so important to TRY different protective gear before you buy. It pays to head down to your local shop and try the various brands out… and if your store doesn’t carry SLYTECH, go ahead and tell them you want to try one.
We’re pretty certain that the soft, pliable memory cell foam of the Slytech 2nd Skin Back Protector or the new Kevlar® infused SLAMMER PRO will provide that maximum freedom of movement and probability mitigation that you want and need to protect your spine, shoulders, and coccyx.
