Never broken just bruised. Been doing it from age 14-30.

With good gear, I haven’t had any wakeboard injuries. With old style bindings, I’d mess up an ankle from time to time and take a few hits. Nothing along the lines of a concussion. Start with slow speeds and learn slowly. And never ride tired.

I surf much more than wakeboard. I enjoy both, but still like the intensity that wakeboarding brings. I would not call wakeboarding a major risk.
