HIT Recognition β€” Sport

Snowsports

Head impact detection built for the mountain β€” protecting skiers and snowboarders where speed, falls, and collisions are part of the ride.

Explore HIT for Snowsports
After the Impact

Falls happen fast.
Decisions shouldn't
be rushed.

In snowsports, impacts can occur at speed and in unpredictable conditions.

HIT provides trusted data after a head impact, supporting athletes, parents, and clinicians in making calmer, more informed return-to-slope decisions.

Athletes
Objective impact data to support awareness and recovery after a fall.
Parents
Clear, trusted information to support calm decisions when it matters most.
Clinicians
Objective documentation to support assessment and return-to-slope decisions.
This is a safety tool, not a performance device. HIT does not replace medical advice β€” always consult a qualified clinician following a significant impact.
After a fall β€” HIT Recognition Snowsports
On the Mountain
The Reality

After a fall, it's not always clear what happened.

Snow, speed, and terrain can make it difficult to assess the severity of an impact. A skier or snowboarder may:

Get up immediately
Feel fine at first
Want to continue their run
Without objective information, decisions rely heavily on instinct. In youth and amateur snowsports, return-to-slope decisions are safety decisions β€” not competitive ones.

HIT exists to support those moments.

Impact Data

Clear data after
head impacts
on the slope.

HIT records head impacts during skiing and snowboarding and presents information clearly and simply β€” helping indicate whether an impact falls within expected safety thresholds and creating an objective record to support follow-up conversations.

This supports:
Awareness after a fall
Calm discussions between parents and coaches
Informed conversations with clinicians
HIT does not diagnose. It supports better awareness and decision-making.
