Skiing is considered a high-risk sport, but serious injuries are relatively rare, occurring at a rate of roughly 1-2 per 1,000 days skied. While fatalities are rare (roughly 1 in 1.5 million trips), risks include ACL ruptures, broken bones, concussions, and collisions. Hazards are often mitigated by staying in control, wearing helmets, and choosing appropriate terrain.
