Methods The study was conducted during the 2013–2014 winter season in the SP of a major winter resort located in the Spanish Pyrenees. Cases involved skiers who experienced feature-related injuries in the SP. A total of 113 cases met the inclusion criteria. Logistic regression was used to calculate the odds of injury types and injury to anatomic locations on aerial versus nonaerial features. Results The overall injury rate was 0.9 per 1000 skier runs. The proportion of injuries was higher for aerials (1.18% of uses) than for nonaerials (0.66% of uses). Results revealed that the upper extremities were the most commonly injured body region, and sprains/strains/dislocations and fractures were the most common injury type. Conclusions The most commonly injured anatomic location on nonaerial features was the face, while on aerial features it was the head. A higher proportion of fractures was observed on aerial features, while a higher proportion of sprains/strains/dislocations was observed on nonaerial features. Prevention strategies to reduce injury risk include SP redesign, safety and communication policies, instruction on technical skills, and promotion of the use of protective equipment. 000130567 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000130567 590__ $$a0.694$$b2016 000130567 591__ $$aSPORT SCIENCES$$b67 / 81 = 0.827$$c2016$$dQ4$$eT3 000130567 591__ $$aPUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH$$b160 / 176 = 0.909$$c2016$$dQ4$$eT3 000130567 592__ $$a0.404$$b2016 000130567 593__ $$aEmergency Medicine$$c2016$$dQ2 000130567 593__ $$aSports Science$$c2016$$dQ3 000130567 593__ $$aPublic Health, Environmental and Occupational Health$$c2016$$dQ3 000130567 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000130567 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-1801-2144$$aEscorihuela Sahún, María$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000130567 7102_ $$14012$$2650$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
