During 2006-2007, a midwest pediatric level I trauma center and affiliated urgent care centers treated 181 children for sledding-related trauma. Twenty-one children required hospitalization for injuries. Some children sustained injuries that were severe including cervical fracture with spinal cord injury, splenic laceration, pulmonary contusion, and head injury. The most frequent mechanism of injury was collision with an object or a person. Although most injuries are minor, some are serious and may have life-changing outcomes. Sledding in unobstructed areas may decrease injuries. An increased public awareness of the risks of serious injury associated with sledding is needed.
在2006 - 2007年期间，中西部一家一级儿科创伤中心及其附属的紧急护理中心对181名因雪橇运动相关创伤前来就诊的儿童进行了治疗。21名儿童因伤需要住院治疗。一些儿童受了重伤，包括颈椎骨折伴脊髓损伤、脾破裂、肺挫伤和头部损伤。最常见的受伤机制是与物体或人发生碰撞。虽然大多数损伤较轻，但有些很严重，可能会产生改变人生的后果。在无障碍物的区域滑雪橇可能会减少受伤。需要提高公众对与雪橇运动相关的严重伤害风险的认识。
