Not wearing protective gear during extreme skiing will significantly increase the risk of injury, but if the protective gear cannot be used for special reasons, the chance of injury can be reduced as much as possible in the following ways. However, it must be emphasized: **Protective gear (helmets, armor, knee pads, etc.) is the bottom line of extreme skiing safety**. The following recommendations are for emergency reference only and cannot replace the protective effect of protective gear. --- ###**1. Technical risk control** 1. **Strictly evaluate one's own abilities** -Only challenge ramps or movements that are **below your own technical level**, and avoid trying difficult techniques that are beyond your control (such as platform jumps, sharp turns and vacationing). - Maintain a low center of gravity in the ski posture and use body cushioning (such as bending knees and rolling sideways) to reduce the impact of a hard landing. 2. **Speed and terrain management** - Actively reduce the taxiing speed to avoid high-speed collisions due to out-of-control. - Give priority to routes with soft snow and no exposed rocks or ice, avoiding hard snow shells or complex obstacle areas. 3. **Prediction and response training** -Observe the route in advance, mark potentially dangerous points (such as cliffs and tree stumps), and plan an emergency risk-averse path. -Practice falling skills: if you are out of control, take the initiative to “sit down” to the side and rear to avoid your head or spine directly on the ground. --- ###**2. Body and equipment preparation** 1. **Strengthen core and joint strength** -Strengthen leg muscles (such as squats, balance board exercises) and core stability through daily training to improve resistance to shocks. - Dynamically warm up for at least 20 minutes to activate muscle and joint flexibility and reduce the chance of strain. 2. **Equipment adaptation and inspection** - Make sure that the release value of the snowboard retainer** is lowered** so that it can quickly detach when falling and avoid sprains. - Wear tight compression clothing or thickened ski suits, and use the layers of clothing to disperse local impact forces (such as buttocks and elbows). --- ###**3. Environment and psychological strategy** 1. **Weather and snow condition monitoring** -Avoid falling snow in low visibility (such as snowstorms) or extreme low temperatures to prevent unresponsiveness or misjudgment. -Be wary of ”powder snow traps": deep powder snow may conceal ice or obstacles, and maintain tentative movements when sliding. 2. **Psychological control of risk** -Refuse to "follow suit and challenge”, peer pressure may induce reckless behavior. -Set a psychological stop loss point (such as “terminate immediately after two consecutive mistakes”) to avoid taking risks forcibly because of unwillingness. --- ###**Fourth, emergency backup plan** -Carry a whistle and mobile phone (waterproof and sealed) with you to ensure that you can ask for help in time in the event of an accident. -Agree with your companions on **Visual signals** (such as waving your hands and crossing your snow poles) to avoid being unable to call for help due to the distance. --- ###**Important reminder：** The impact of extreme skiing is far beyond the limit of the human body (for example, the impact of the head when landing can reach more than 1 ton), **Technology alone cannot replace the physical protection of protective gear**. If you abandon protective gear due to the pursuit of “lightness” or “flexibility”, you are essentially putting yourself at an uncontrollable risk. **It is strongly recommended to reconsider the use of protective gear**, or try extreme skiing if the protective gear is complete. Safety can make love last longer!
