English term or phrase: wipe-outs
"Miller's latest visual explosion of ski and snow, featuring skiers, boarders and even the odd idiot on a bike. He even makes ***wipe-outs*** look like fun!"

Ich habe auf deutschen Seiten "Wipeouts" und "Wipe Outs" gefunden. Gibt es dafür auch ein deutsches Wort? Und was ist denn eigentlich ein "wipe-out" im Extremsport?

Zuletzt habe ich doch "Wipe-Outs" genommen, da der Text szenig tönen soll und man in der Szene offenbar so sagt.
Vielen Dank.
