What are the most common injuries for beginners when skiing? What should you pay attention to after an injury?
Nowadays, more and more people are skiing, and there are also many professional skiers who have achieved results in skiing, such as Gu Ailing. She is simply the ceiling for us ordinary skiers. If we want to surpass her, we should not surpass her. After thinking about it, let’s just treat skiing as a form of entertainment. This way we can have fun and have no pressure. But while having fun, we must also pay attention to our own safety. We can’t say that the snow is soft. , there will be no various injuries, especially when beginners are new to skiing. Below I will explain to you the injuries that beginners are most likely to suffer when skiing and what they need to pay attention to after being injured.
The first is frostbite. The temperature in the ski resort is already low, not to mention in winter. If we don’t take good measures to keep warm, we can easily get frostbite when skiing. Once skiers get frostbite, it is recommended that they immediately leave the ski resort where the temperature is too low, go to a warm rest room to change out of wet clothes and shoes, and wear thick clothes to keep warm. Soak the frostbitten area with warm water of about 50℃. Remember not to heat it too much, otherwise it will easily cause secondary damage to the injured area. Do not use rubbing to promote blood circulation in the frostbitten area. Pay special attention not to put it on the fire immediately. Give the injured area place a buffering process.
The second is skin damage. For those who are new to skiing, the skin is easily damaged, such as scratches and bumps, during the process of learning to ski. If you have abrasions or lacerations, you should clean the wound immediately, and then apply anti-inflammatory ointment without covering it with gauze, because the skin also needs to breathe. For congestion and hematoma, you can apply ice, and then some cells in the body will automatically remove blood stasis and blood. The wound will gradually turn from purple to yellow-green. After 3 days, heat compresses and massage can be used to relieve pain. If the injury is beyond treatment, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment immediately. Don't show off at this time.
The third most vulnerable area is the eyes. This is also something we easily overlook, because we can’t hurt our eyes no matter what we ski. But once the white snow encounters strong sunlight, the reflected light will be very dazzling due to physical reactions, which can easily cause snow blindness. If this happens, do not rub your eyes with your hands, and be sure to use pure water or eye drops. Carefully clean your eyes, then cover your eyes with soft medical cotton gauze and close your eyes to rest. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended that every skier wear professional ski goggles before skiing.
