TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Ice skating accidents and injuries JO - Injury A1 - Bernard, A. A. A1 - Corlett, S. A1 - Thomsen, E. A1 - Bell, Nathaniel A1 - McMahon, A. A1 - Richmond, P. A1 - Porter, K. M. SP - 191 EP - 192 VL - 19 IS - 3 N2 - A total of 169 consecutive injuries to ice skaters is reviewed. The majority resulted from falls and occurred in young people with little or no previous skating experience. Speed and crowding on the ice may be contributory. Injuries occur because of a casual attitude to the sport and because of a lack of awareness of the potentially serious injuries that can result. It would be beneficial for beginners to undergo specific instruction and, if possible, at separate times or in separate areas. LA - SN - 0020-1383 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
