CONCUSSION TESTING
Freestyle skiing is a sport where concussion is a high risk. Australia’s elite freestyle skiing athletes are mandated to complete baseline concussion tests every year so that if they ever take a knock to the head the diagnosis of concussion can be fast and simple.
If an athlete has completed a baseline concussion test before an injury occurs, then they will be a step ahead of in easier and faster diagnosis and recovery from concussion if they do get an injury to the head.
SSA has come up with an affordable way for club level skiers to be concussion tested. SSA members are now entitled to a huge discount on HeadSmart’s online testing system.
This is available to both SSA members and Snowracers. It costs $15 and can be done online via the links below. Results are then emailed and also available via their membership portal.
It is mandatory for ALL TBR athletes to complete a baseline test annually. This must be completed before the commencement of any TBR training program.

HELMETS
TBR takes athlete safety very seriously. We are proud to say that a number of our top athletes have escaped serious head injury on multiple occasions because they were wearing a helmet.
Helmets must be worn by all TBR athletes during all on snow and water jump training and competitions or when skiing in TBR uniform outside of TBR sessions.
Helmets must be worn correctly with the helmet strap fastened under the chin to ensure that it does its job in the event of a crash.
We recommend a helmet with MIPS technology
