Recently during ski racing competitions, a few high-profile accidents resulted in severe life-threatening laceration injuries. Ski-laceration injuries are caused by metal ski edges cutting through skin/muscles/arteries during falls and range in severity. There is a desire by the racing community to better protect skiers. However, current laceration injury research does not provide detailed information about laceration injuries or focus on adolescent and young adult ski racers. Therefore, the Self-Report Slash Injury Survey (Slash Survey) was conducted to (a) measure the frequency, severity, and body location of laceration injuries during skiing and (b) identify the skiing environment and ski maintenance level during laceration injuries. The Slash Survey was an online survey that asked participants ages 10–24, who are enrolled in US ski race programs, to report whether they experienced a laceration injury and what ski maintenance was used during the 2018–2019 ski season. The Slash Survey results suggest that the laceration injury rate during the 2018–2019 ski season was 6.8% and almost half the lacerations reported were considered slight (i.e. <1 day of absence from the sport). For respondents of the survey, no correlation was found between laceration injuries and (a) slope surface conditions, (b) outside temperature, (c) weather, (d) skiing activity, and (e) ski maintenance (tuning). From the survey, the most common ski tuning method was using a file guide by hand (29%), automated ski tune at a ski shop (20%), stone grind (17%), and cup wheel grinder (17%). Furthermore, open-ended responses suggest that a ski community narrative may be amplifying the awareness of laceration injuries. The aim of this survey was to establish detailed information about ski laceration injuries among adolescent and young adult US ski racers for the development of mitigation strategies.

最近在滑雪比赛中，发生了几起引人注目的事故，导致严重的撕裂伤，危及生命。滑雪撕裂伤是由金属滑雪边缘在跌倒时切穿皮肤/肌肉/动脉引起的，严重程度不等。赛车界希望更好地保护滑雪者。然而，目前的撕裂伤研究并未提供关于撕裂伤的详细信息，也没有重点关注青少年和青年滑雪运动员。因此，进行自我报告斜线损伤调查（斜线调查）是为了（a）测量滑雪过程中撕裂伤的频率、严重程度和身体位置，以及（b）确定撕裂伤过程中的滑雪环境和滑雪维护水平。Slash 调查是一项在线调查，询问了 10-24 岁的参与者，参加美国滑雪比赛计划的人，报告他们是否经历过撕裂伤以及在 2018-2019 滑雪季节期间使用了哪些滑雪维护。斜线调查结果表明，2018-2019 滑雪季节的撕裂伤率为 6.8%，几乎一半的撕裂伤被认为是轻微的（即缺席运动 <1 天）。对于调查的受访者来说，撕裂伤与 (a) 斜坡表面条件、(b) 外部温度、(c) 天气、(d) 滑雪活动和 (e) 滑雪维护（调整）之间没有相关性。根据调查，最常见的滑雪调整方法是使用手动文件指南 (29%)、滑​​雪商店的自动滑雪调整 (20%)、石磨 (17%) 和杯形砂轮磨床 (17%)。此外，开放式回应表明滑雪社区的叙述可能会放大对撕裂伤的认识。本次调查的目的是建立有关青少年和年轻美国滑雪运动员滑雪撕裂伤的详细信息，以制定缓解策略。
