Moet zeggen dat ik ook niet altijd even sociaal ben/denk als het gaat om buitensporige risico's die sommige mensen nemen.

Ik denk dat mensen niet altijd even goed in staat zijn in te schatten welke gevaren ze lopen. Wetenschappers maken er hele studies van dus ik vertrouw er op dat zij hun werk goed doen. En liever wat te veel betutteling dan te weinig.

Maar wie bepaalt wat buitensporige risico's zijn? Dat kun jij niet voor een ander bepalen. Dát is het hele punt!

Nou wanneer een hele grote meerderheid het buitengewoon risicovol vind, is dat wel zo

Citaat:

Zo'n 700 onfortuinlijke ruiters raken jaarlijks zo ernstig gewond dat ziekenhuisopname noodzakelijk is. Kneuzingen (40 procent) en fracturen (35 procent) zijn de meest voorkomende letsels. Vijf procent van de slachtoffers loopt hersenletsel op. Vijf paardrij-ongevallen per jaar kennen een dodelijke afloop.

Dekker et al. hebben 2 onderzoeken gedaan in Nederland wat betreft ongevallen binnen de
paardensport. Hun eerste onderzoek (2003) ging over deelnemers in de paardensport met een leeftijd
boven de 18 jaar en hun tweede onderzoek (2004) ging over deelnemers onder de 18 jaar.
Wat het voornaamste verschil is in type letstel (tabel 1) in vergelijking met de leeftijden is dat
deelnemers onder de 18 jaar voornamelijk fracturen en weke delen letsel oplopen en deelnemers
boven de 18 jaar hoofdzakelijk fracturen. Verder is de locatie bij beide groepen ook verschillend
(tabel 2), bij deelnemers onder de 18 jaar was dit voornamelijk de bovenste extremiteit, bij deelnemers
boven de 18 jaar was dit voornamelijk de romp.

Samenvatting
Paardrijden is een sport met een kleine kans op een blessure. Het aantal blessuresper 1.000 uur paardrijden is laag. Jaarlijks overlijdt gemiddeld één ruiter

Sports injuries
More men than women were injured in sports
activities. The majority (2/3) of injuries sustained in
sports were head injuries. Among men, only l/6 were
neck injuries, half of which were sustained in icehockey
or downhill skiing. Combination injuries were
as common as the neck injuries, and most of them
were sustained in ice-hockey. Among women, l/4 of
the injuries in sports activities were neck injuries. All
three types of injuries among women were predominantly
sustained in horse-riding, the second most
common cause being falls in gymnastics (neck injuries)
and impact injuries in soccer (head injuries). Falls
while horse-riding or during gymnastics were the
predominant causes of injury among women, and
impact injuries in team sports such as ice-hockey or
soccer among men. The fall/impact injury ratio was
2/l for women, and l/2 for men (Table 2).

In Deutschland wird häufig ein SHT (Schädel-Hirn-Trauma, hersenletsel dus) im Fussball, Reitsport oder Radsport beobachtet.

Citaat:

Unfortunately, horseback riding is also a significant contributor to major injury. The hospital admission rate associated with equestrian activity is .49/1000 hours of riding. The rate when motorcycle riding is merely .14/1000 hours. As a result of this potential for injury, horseback riding has been identified as a higher-risk activity than automobile racing, motorcycle riding, football, and skiing, and at least as dangerous as rugby. Equestrian riding also is considered to have the highest mortality of all sports, with an annual death rate of 1 per 1 million population.

Citaat:

the primary objective of this study was to identify common rider, animal, and environmental characteristics among those with major equestrian injuries.

Citaat:

The most common injuries were located in the upper body (Table 1), with 54% and 48% of all patients experiencing chest and head injuries, respectively.

Citaat:

The mechanism of injury included the following: 47 (60%) patients were thrown from or fell off a horse, 12 (16%) were crushed by a falling horse, 6 (8%) were kicked, 3 (4%) were stepped on, and 10 (13%) were injured by a variety of other mechanisms.

Citaat:

Rider characteristics outlined a very experienced study cohort (Table 2). Patients typically were recreational (46%) or working riders (38%) who owned horses, rode Western style (92%), wore helmet (9%), owned the horse (73%) and had a mean of 27 years of experience when injured (Table 2). Only 6% of surveyed riders had been riding for less than 1 year at the time of their accident. Half of these (3%) were first time riders.

Citaat:

Although injuries among the study patients were severe, 87% of respondents resumed riding after the accident. However, 55% still had ongoing physical difficulties as a direct result of the trauma.

Citaat:

Of the 63 patients with facial and head injuries, 14 (22%) had underlying intracranial injuries (hersenletsel). Data on helmet use were collected in only 24 patients with head injuries. Those patients with a helmet had significantly less incidence of intracranial injuries than those who did not (1/19 compared with 3/5, P < 0.02, Fisher’s exact test).
