snowboarding is bad on your knees more than anything. long term at least. when you're riding you're in a kinda semi-squatting position and your knees are bent at angles other than straight in front of you, which puts a lot of stress on em. broken bones are most common in the wrist becuase when people fall they naturally put their hands out to catch themself. this is bad. eventually you can learn to go with the fall and kinda roll, which is nice cause you can keep your momentum and get back up without completely stopping. ass bone injuries happen also. i could see it being hard on your back. after my first two days or so i havn't had much more than bruises, soreness, and whiplash. if you take it easy you can make it out with little to no serious injury. bobafett i think is a doctor, hopefully he'll see this and chime in.
