Predicting the results of the finite element simulation of a snowboarding backward fall with ODYSSEE
Skiing and snowboarding are very popular sports, associated with a high risk of injury (2.35/1000 skiing days in 2019 in France [1]). Among those injuries, the leading cause of death is the head injury which accounts for 5-10% of all injuries. Several studies have shown that helmet was effective in reducing the risk of head injury [2], [3] but the effect of the helmet in reducing certain types of brain injuries such as concussion is still unclear [4], [5]. To better evaluate and design effective helmets, it is critical to understand the head impact condition during the crash as well as the injury mechanism.
