Medical
To date none of our users has reported any significant skiing specific injuries (other than bumps and bruises sustained from falling). The few minor skiing injuries that have been reported were of a nature that the ski~mojo could not be expected to prevent.
We have surveyed our customers on a few occassions and if the customers surveyed were of a "typical" cross-section of skiers, based on the level of response recived, we would have expected reports of several major knee injuries, as well as many minor ones.
As many of our customers have already suffered knee injuries, they are typically more likely to suffer from subsequent knee injuries, which makes the fact that we have not had a single knee injury reported all the more remarkable.
