What is another word for wipe outs?
Pronunciation: [wˈa͡ɪp ˈa͡ʊts] (IPA) 
Wipe outs are often associated with surfers catching waves. But these spectacular falls can happen in other situations, like while skateboarding or skiing. When you wipe out, you suddenly lose control and typically fall to the ground or hit an obstacle. Some synonyms for wipe outs include spills, falls, crashes, tumbles, and wipeouts. Each of these terms can describe a sudden loss of balance and can be used in a variety of contexts. However, wipeouts is a term that has become somewhat synonymous with extreme sports, and it has now become part of the colorful lingo of surfers, skateboarders, and other athletes.
