SKELETON SLEDDING INFORMATION
SKELETON sledding INFORMATION. Introduction Years ago, I used What isskeleton sledding? What is skeleton sledding? Although not as well
http://www.capital.net/~phuston/skelbob.html

Extractions: like to check and see if people are waiting to ambush them out in the woods. I look back on those days a lot and really do miss working security at the concerts. (All told I did it for about seven years, although they weren't sequential.) Anyway, one of my co-workers was wearing an Empire State Games sweatshirt one evening. For those of you who aren't local, the Empire State Games are our New York States sports championships. They're held annually in both winter and summer in a wide variety of events. Since there are millions of people in our state, and these are the championships, you've got to be good to get in for almost anything. (Well, usually. There are exceptions and I'm the proof. But I'm coming to that story later.) So this meant he was good in his sport. More importantly, to me, his sweatshirt said "Bobsledding." "Wow!" I cried, "I've always wanted to try Bobsledding or Luging!! How do you do that?!" And he told me... Of course, he also told me about something called "skeleton" that I'd never heard of. The next winter I was an Empire State Games skeleton slider. I wish I could have continued with it, but a conspiracy of geography and insurance-less poverty kept me out of the sport until a return in 1998. Nevertheless, skeleton sliding was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

NATURE: Sled Dogs - Sledding Into The Wilderness

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/sleddogs/sledding.html

Extractions: They call it the Last Great Race. It covers nearly 1,200 miles across some of the toughest terrain on earth, through some of the bitterest winter weather in the world. Sled dogs racing the Iditarod. Still, there is something about Alaska's Iditarod sled dog race that keeps competitors coming back year after year, eager to test their 16-dog teams and mushing skills against the elements and each other. NATURE's SLED DOGS: AN ALASKAN EPIC provides a compelling portrait of this competition, a test of endurance for both dog and driver. It follows several teams as they race to overcome the many obstacles, physical and psychological, they encounter along the trail. And it allows armchair mushers, if only for a moment, to share in both the spectacle and splendor of the Alaskan wilderness and the special bond that unites the racers with their partners, the sled dogs . "It's an unbelievable adventure," says Joe Runyan, the 1989 Iditarod champion.

AAOS On-Line Service Sledding Safety
Position Statement. sledding Safety. Every year, thousands of youths and adultsare injured sledding down hills in city parks, streets and resort areas.
http://www.aaos.org/wordhtml/papers/position/sledding.htm

Extractions: Every year, thousands of youths and adults are injured sledding down hills in city parks, streets and resort areas. In 1995, hospital emergency rooms treated 54,727 injuries related to sleds, toboggans, and inflated or plastic tubes and disks used in sledding, according to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The medical, legal, insurance costs were $365 million. Half of all emergency visits were for injuries to arms and legs; 17 percent, spine; 15 percent, head; and 11 percent facial injuries. Two-thirds of the injuries were sustained by youths age 14 and younger. Younger children have proportionally larger heads and higher centers of gravity than do older children and adolescents. When the injuries to youths and young adults age 15-24 are included, the 0-24 age group accounts for 85 percent of the total injuries and more than 80 percent of the total cost. From 1991 through 1995, there were 250,361 injuries related to sledding treated in hospital emergency rooms. The economic impact was $1.79 billion. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recommends the following safety guidelines to improve sledding safety: Sled only in designated areas free of fixed objects such as trees, posts

http://www.bcadventure.com/adventure/dogsledding/

Extractions: B ritish Columbia winters bring out the true adventurer. There are many places to visit and explore; it's an excellent time to enjoy the snow covered silent backcountry. Sparkling snow blankets the county side, the blue sky reaches down to touch you and the distant mountains appear a hazy purple-gray in colour. The air is crisp, clean and so refreshing. Remote areas can be reached by cross-cou ntry and telemark skiing, snowmobiling, snow shoeing and of course dog sledding. Dog sledding is quickly gaining popularity, in part because this type of transportation fun does not create air or noise pollution. Imagine yourself in a comfortable sled as a team of dogs takes you gliding silently over hill and dale. Miles of snow covered rolling hills and treed meadows make for hours of enjoyable dog sledding. The various regions offer different types of terrain, so every trail is new and exciting. Through out the province there are numerous dog sled operators offering rides by the hour, day and over-night camping adventure packages.
