OBJECTIVE
To determine the extent of protective equipment use (that is, helmets, wrist guards, elbow pads, knee pads) in a representative sample of in-line skaters.
SETTING
Fifteen municipalities throughout the province of British Columbia.
METHOD
A province-wide observational survey was conducted in the summer of 1999. Skaters were observed at four types of sites (commuter, recreational, neighbourhood, general community) in 15 municipalities to provide a representative sample of in-line skaters.
RESULTS
The observed use of protective equipment by the 877 in-line skaters was relatively low: wrist guards 25%, helmets 13%, elbow pads 14%, and knee pads 10%.
CONCLUSION
Despite the availability of relatively inexpensive protective equipment, few in-line skaters take advantage of the opportunity to protect themselves from injury. Policies and programs that serve to increase the use of protective equipment by in-line skaters are needed to help reduce the frequency of skating related injuries.
目的
确定在一个具有代表性的直排轮滑者样本中防护装备（即头盔、护腕、护肘、护膝）的使用情况。
地点
不列颠哥伦比亚省全省的15个自治市。
方法
1999年夏天进行了一项全省范围的观察性调查。在15个自治市的四种类型场地（通勤场地、休闲场地、社区场地、普通社区场地）观察轮滑者，以提供具有代表性的直排轮滑者样本。
结果
877名直排轮滑者防护装备的实际使用率相对较低：护腕25%，头盔13%，护肘14%，护膝10%。
结论
尽管有相对便宜的防护装备，但很少有直排轮滑者利用这一机会保护自己免受伤害。需要出台政策和项目来增加直排轮滑者对防护装备的使用，以帮助减少轮滑相关伤害的发生率。
