Abstract:
With the increasing popularity of freestyle skiing and snowboarding many ski resorts constructed their own terrain parks including several jumps, rails, and pipes. In order to prevent risks of high-impact injuries in jumping, an adequate construction of the landing hill is very important. In professional ski jumping this can be achieved by designing the landing area profile so that its curvature follows the flight path of the jumping athlete. Classical kicker shapes do not follow this principle....     »
