Collisions between people account for around 10% of slope injuries in historical reviews, with some recent data nearing 20%. Raising Lil’ Rippers reviewed safety findings for Snowboarding and Skiing, with a focus on children. Its main message: collision rates vary, but these crashes can be serious. Being young does not protect riders from injury. Older research cited by the National Ski Areas Association gave a different figure. Collisions with another person made up about 6.4% of reported accidents. These numbers cover different groups and count events in different ways. They are not the chance of getting hurt on one outing. They also do not show that collision risk has doubled over time. The article also cites a study covering over 720,000 visits to Blackcomb Mountain. Children ages 7–12 and teens ages 13–17 had the highest serious injury rates. Young people also had notable rates of head and face injuries. A separate review cited a study where head injuries were most common among children. They accounted for 19% of injuries, not 19% of all young riders. For BioSocial members, this adds a safety angle to seasonal activity logs. Days on snow, lesson hours, and near misses could sit alongside fitness goals. Notes about slope crowds and what happened could help make community comparisons clearer. These personal logs would not prove that a habit prevents collisions. But they could give families useful experiences to discuss. The article stresses that judgment and awareness are still developing in children. Those skills can be taught, rather than assumed from confidence on a board. What have your family’s slope logs or close calls taught you about riding around others?
