Context:

  • Deltasailing is a popular extreme sport in Switzerland.
  • Understanding injury patterns is crucial for athlete safety.
  • Previous research on deltasailing injuries is limited.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the incidence and characteristics of injuries sustained by deltasailors in Switzerland.
  • To identify risk factors and injury types associated with deltasailing.
  • To compare injury outcomes between genders.

Summary:

  • A study of 259 deltasailors reported 257 incidents.
  • Common injuries included contusions (8%) and fractures (24%).
  • Injuries predominantly affected arms/legs (70%) and occurred during landing (72%).
