Although E885.3 and E885.4 are intended for use indicating injuries from ground-level falls, they are the only mechanism available for capturing the incidence and distribution of ski and snowboard injuries in Idaho.

Collector’s memo tab can be used to provide additional information for ski and snowboard injuries that were the result of falls from one level to another or from a person striking or being struck by another person or object.
