At Least 20,000 Sledders Hurt Yearly

Item: Study: Sledding injures thousands of kids every year/Justin Corr, KTVB

More Info: An analysis of emergency rooms by the Center on Injury Research and Policy says that kids and teens account for at least 20,000 sledding injuries per year in the United States. And researchers say those numbers could actually be higher, since many sledding injuries never make it to the emergency room.

Question: When did you last go sledding?
