In the realm of gravity-defying winter sports, nothing compares to the spectacle of Big Air. It is an arena where physics bows to human will, where a single jump can encapsulate years of training and a lifetime of daring.  at the 2023 World Championships in Bakuriani, GeorgiaAmerican freeskier Troy Podmilsak claimed the World Title by landing the first-ever Triple 2160 Mute in competition history. This feat—a breathtaking six rotations (three full flips and three full turns) while grabbing his ski—shattered world records for technical difficulty and launched him into the elite pantheon of airborne innovators.

FICOR Score

(Fatality & Injury Classification of Risk)

Discipline : Big Air

FICOR score is based on XDGE's proprietary scoring system

Minimum score to be considered for XDGE is 50, and the maximum is 100. This FICOR score is based on available data combined with XDGE's proprietary scoring system which weights several factors based on importance, including: insurance risk scores for the particular activity being evaluated, reaction time available as an adverse event unfolds, speed, height, depth, technical difficulty, ability to mitigate risk during activity, availability of backup equipment, involvment of other participants, location of activity, mental focus required, outcome resulting of most mishaps such as death or hospitalization, and a determination of the likelihood of having a major accident if that sport is done frequently.
