The document discusses the most common injuries in skiing. It outlines injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament from sharp turns of the body over the tibia. Shoulder luxations can occur from abrupt turns of the shoulder articulation. Thumb injuries frequently happen when the thumb makes a sharp lateral movement breaking the internal ligament during a fall. Other common injuries include broken lower body parts, back injuries, head bangs and injuries to the hands and wrists.
