Probability in Skiing Safety

Hey for my Math Connections class we are supposed to do a project on how probability relates to something we are interested in. In my case I chose park skiing. My teacher suggested that I try and see how important safety is to the average park skier. I have made a survey to collect data for my project. If everyone could answer it that would be great. I think the results should be pretty interesting since park skiing is a sport where you fall a lot and where many people don't wear helmets. Here is a link to the survey:

Thanks!
 
cool survey, maybe put number of injuries rather than broken bones. Hope my answers helped.
 
The best source would be patrol and local search and rescue. They will provide you with reports and numbers vital for your research. Make sure to break down your variables well. Safety has a hole bunch of them and fleshing it out is going to be very hard. Most small incidents are never reported.
 
I just done did it, if your teacher gives you a bad grade he is probably a snowboarder or a gaper
 
Done. But what's the relevance to the last two years? I am 27 now and how much I ski and how I ski is very different than how I skied five years ago. You should add an age metric and get rid of the past two years part of the later questions. My answers to those questions would have been very different a couple years ago.
 
Done bro.

Concussions and broken bones aren't the only common injuries associated with skiing remember. Knee and thumb ligament injuries are other examples of injuries that happen all the time. What specific links are you trying to draw as a result of this? I'm sure many of us would be able to help further improve your results if we knew what your hypothesis is.

Good luck homie!

Word I feel that. I just needed to come up with some questions quickly and my teacher suggested that.

Yeah that is true. I will try and fix that thanks!
 
Thanks for the feedback and for all of the responses! +k to everyone that answered. I really appreciate it! I will most definitely post my results and I will try and change up the questions a bit.
 
Done bratha. Another interesting question would be attempting something after previously hurting yourself. Good luck jah
