Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-6159-2554 Injury prevention: Freestylers’ awareness of FIS code of conduct for snow parks 2020 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted The objectives of the present study were to assess general perceptions of safety in snow parks (SPs), general knowledge of rules existence, and both active and passive awareness of the International Ski Federation (FIS) rules contained in its Code of Conduct for SPs in order to define target groups for injury prevention-specific education interventions. Data were drawn from 436 freestylers randomly interviewed. The study was conducted during the 2018–2019 winter season in the SP of a major winter resort located in the Spanish Pyrenees. A questionnaire assessing personal data (gender, age, gear used, self-reported skill, and frequency of use), general perceptions on safety, general request for rules, and awareness of existing rules in SPs was developed. Chi-square goodness-of-fit tests were used to compare characteristics between groups. It was revealed, for accident prevention purposes, a concerning general lack of knowledge of existing rules in SPs (63% of participants ignored them). Risk-inducing situations that could result in severe injuries, such as familiarity with the right progression in choosing features and/or stunts or with safety equipment, were largely assessed incorrectly (94% and 70% of participants, respectively). Appropriate intuitive behavior increases with experience: youths and beginners are less able to implement FIS rules than more experienced freestylers. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.39 2020 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 41 / 175 = 0.234 2020 Q1 T1 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 118 / 273 = 0.432 2020 Q2 T2 PUBLIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH 68 / 202 = 0.337 2020 Q2 T2 0.747 2020 Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis 2020 Q2 Public Health, Environmental and Occupational Health 2020 Q2 Pollution 2020 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Castillo, I.
