Abstract

Carving is a new version in alpine skiing. The continuous decrease of participants in alpine skiing beginning 1987 has been stopped, as carving has a modern image and as skier find new motivation in wintersports. The effect of carving on the incidence of injuries cannot yet be answered accurately. It is assumed that the increase of carvers will lead to a high number of accidents related with it. In this article, the existing data about carving injuries in Austria is analyzed to find out the necessary steps for injury prevention in the future.
