Protective Equipment Can Stop Injuries

Protective Equipment Can Stop Injuries

The proposition that protective equipment could reduce the frequency and severity of injuries associated with in-line hockey jerseys prompted several investigators to study the frequency and patterns of use by skaters. Young and Mark41 noted that of the 1,548 skaters observed by them, 31.7% wore no protective equipment, 64.5% wore only wrist guards, and only 2.6% wore helmets. Overall, adolescent males, children under 12 years of age, and advanced-level skaters were the least likely to wear protective equipment.
