The National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) reports an average injury rate of approximately 2.5 injuries per 1,000 skier visits. For instance, a resort with 1 million skier visits per season might experience around 2,500 injuries requiring ski patrol intervention.
Approximately 20.8% of skiing injuries involve the knee, including ligament tears such as the ACL and MCL.
Approximately 15.9% of injuries (snowboarders) are to the shoulder, including dislocations and fractures.

A report from the National Ski Patrol (NSP) indicates that staffing shortages and the physical demands of manually transporting injured skiers on rescue sleds can slow down operations, particularly in challenging terrain (NSP, 2022).

A report from the National Ski Patrol (NSP) indicates that staffing shortages and the physical demands of manually transporting injured skiers on rescue sleds can slow down operations, particularly in challenging terrain (NSP, 2022).
Traditional rescue toboggans are difficult for everyone because:
"As I rode in the sled, my weight slid me to the bottom to where every bump compressed the fracture making it quite painful. "

Extended toboggan rescues can be physically exhausting for both the patroller and the patient. Especially after various other tasks that ski patrol needs to complete.

In challenging conditions, one patroller alone may not be enough to manage a toboggan safely. Icy slopes, deep snow, or tight tree runs often require additional patrollers to assist in braking or stabilizing the sled.
