Snowboarder uses new Burton boots. Then she ends up in the ER with two broken ankles. She’s not the only one: ‘I was told it was new technology’

A Vancouver snowboarder just tried out Burton’s newest line of experimental snowboarding boots. Then she ended up in the hospital because her ankles broke. 

Boop (@boop6203) only noticed a defect with her boots once it was too late. She has a PSA for anyone who’s considering buying a pair of Burton’s clip-on snowboarding boots in their 2026 line. Her TikTok describing her injuries and how she ended up with a snowboarder’s break has over 453,000 views, with commenters recommending she seek legal action for the incident.
