Project Description
For more than four decades, the Ski Accident Analysis Center (ASU Ski) of ARAG Allgemeine Versicherungs-AG has been compiling an annual analysis of accident and injury data in alpine skiing. These globally unique statistics are based on reports from DSV aktiv members and thus provide a solid foundation for tracking developments and trends over time. Despite a slight, long-term decline in membership numbers, the surveyed group is characterized by its remarkable stability.
Objective
For years, the DSV aktiv community and the Foundation for Safety in Skiing (SIS) have helped ensure that ASU ski analyses are produced regularly and made available to the general public. This trusting collaboration ensures that both experts and the interested public always receive up-to-date and accurate information on accident trends. The results make it clear that injury prevention in alpine skiing must remain a top priority. While the figures provide valuable insights into accident patterns, the key to improvement lies in preventive measures that specifically prevent injuries or at least reduce their severity.
