  • Injury prevention

Background:

  • Riding accidents pose significant risks.
  • Understanding risk factors is crucial for injury prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze fatal riding injuries from 1969-1982.
  • To identify key risk factors related to the rider, horse, and environment.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 53 lethal riding injuries.
  • Data collected on rider demographics, horse characteristics, and environmental factors.

Main Results:

  • Craniocerebral injuries were the predominant cause of death.
  • Females under 25 and males over 25 were disproportionately represented.
