Case Presentation: A snowmobile racer fell from his sled and was run over by another, sustaining “shark bite” to his hand and leg. He was evacuated to a trackside medical trailer where the characteristic wounds were felt to require further exploration at a hospital.
Discussion: “Shark bite” is a colloquial term for lacerations sustained from metal studs attached to a snowmobile’s track. “Shark-bite” lacerations may be more prone to complications than other lacerations commonly sustained in motorsports events.
