Figure or Ice Skating involves balance, flexibility, strength, explosive power when launching into a jump, and the jarring
impact of touchdown from a jump.
Unfortunately, all these can stress the muscles,
bones, joints, and skin, and can produce injuries. Such injuries are
suffered by both recreational and elite skaters.
However, a fall can cause more serious injuries to both the recreational and elite skater. A backward tumble can cause the head to strike the ice. This can produce a concussion. Skaters are advised to tuck their head forward when falling, so that the brunt of the impact is taken by the shoulders.
