PreserviceSkiing has evolved to become more acrobatic, with the use of terrain park jumps and other features playing a prominent role in an increase in serious spinal cord injuries. Yet these jumps are rarely, if ever, designed or engineered. This talk presents a coherent methodology for the design of ski jump landing surfaces that can yield exhilarating flight experiences without the danger posed by jumps created in an ad hoc manner.
