Given the pros and cons about Skiing vs. snowboarding I am starting to emerge on the side that snowboard is better. From reading many medical reports about both snow sports there have been more serious injuries from skiing. The recent study is 1 in 50 ski accidents result in death and compared to snowboarding there is a 1 in 200 chance that people will get killed. After reading those medical documents I looked more in-depth of why the results came out that way. One document coming from a doctor said due to the two independent ski's that there is two times the risk of a fatal crash compared to being strapped into one solid board. Also the doctor stated that with two feet strapped into the board that it was more safe when crashing compared to having the two separate ski's. From my personal experience of doing both I trust my snowboard more because there are not as many moving parts that can fatally injure you.
