Minnesota Concussion Law
It’s now law in Minnesota that if young athletes show signs of a concussion, they must not participate until they can get a medical all-clear. A concussion is a brain injury caused by a bump or blow to the head that can change the way your brain normally works. Even what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious.
To help ensure the health and safety of our young athletes, the Centers for Disease Control developed the Heads Up: Concussion in Youth Sports initiative to offer information about concussions to coaches, parents, and athletes involved in youth sports. The Heads Up initiative provides important information on preventing, recognizing, and responding to a concussion.
In case of an injury which includes a bump or blow to the head, the Ski Challenge will refer the racer to the ski area Ski Patrol.
