Pressure on the lateral tibial plateau (P) as a function of the skiing velocity (v0) and the mass of ski and ski boot (m23). The red dot is the pressure P = 177 MPa obtained with data from Table 1. The red line marks the ultimate compressive stress 143 MPa that can be exceeded at v0 higher than 13 m/s and can cause a compression fracture of the tibial plateau. SI units: kg – kilogram, MPa – megapascal, m/s – meter per second.
