Analysis and Ethical Design of Terrain Park Jumps for Snow Sports

Analysis and Ethical Design of Terrain Park Jumps for Snow Sports. Moore, J., Cloud, B., Hubbard, M., & Brown, C. A. engrXiv, March, 2021.

Paper doi abstract bibtex

Most American snowsport resorts now have terrain parks and decades-long epidemiological evidence correlates terrain park use with injuries. Engineering design of jumps could reduce injuries by limiting equivalent fall heights (EFHs), which indicate dissipated landing impact energy. No evidence refutes making terrain park jumps safer in this way. We discuss case studies illustrating that large EFHs are significant factors in traumatic injuries on terrain park jumps. Standards and design tools for builders can make jumps safer. We introduce a tool that can evaluate existing jumps as well as design jump profiles with safer equivalent EFHs to reduce injuries.
