Apparently this link glitch is going on with Yahoo, according to the Forum.

I don't know why my link isn't working here - and I had 2 different ones too and it works in the preview.  Seems like if you Google ** Ice skating injuries: What to expect **, you'll get the link at the top . . . faster than trying to search it from active.com home page!!

Answer 3

Broken bones for yourself or others (if they fall down or if you accidently knock someone down or trip over them if they fall). Another hazard might be frostbite from someone not dressing warmly enough or staying in the cold too long.

Answer 4

falls, concussion, broken limbs, sprained wrists
