No, but I sprained my knee and that is extremely painful. And also very scary

I haven't tried snowboarding (there's no snow in our place) but it seems to me that this thing is really dangerous. Wonder which is more dangerous, skateboarding or snowboarding? I mean the impact of your hit, if ever, since in skateboarding, it is really hard and many people die on the streets, what about when you have an accident in the snow? Snow seems to be softer, is there a difference to it?

snow is softer than concrete/pavement...but on the hill you are going alot faster and downwards so i find the impact to be even more hard. and if you land the wrong way and start rolling down fast...you can get sprains and broken bones in different places!

but that'd be an interesting statistic..which is more dangerous?..skateboarding/skateboarding?
