 Probably the most common injury you'll see with snowboarding is sprained or broken wrists. A lot of times when people fall, they fall with their hands out in front of them, and especially with their fingers splayed, and that's just asking to snap your hand and your wrist. But if you close your fists and you land on your forearm, you are much less likely to break that bone versus your wrist. And what is the payoff? What makes it more fun than skiing in your eyes?
