A prospective study of women's flag football injuries was carried out over a 4 year period at Mississippi State University. Data was gathered on 114 injuries. Organized intramural flag football activities caused 93% of the injuries observed (7% were injured in pick-up games). The finger accounted for 39%, knee for 16%, and ankle for 8% of these injuries. The type of injury was closely distributed among sprains, fractures, contusions, and strains. Collisions, with other players and objects, resulted in 64% of these injuries. Offensive ball handlers (running backs and receivers) had the greatest probability of being injured. From this data, it is obvious that women's injury patterns are not the same as men's and that varsity injury data cannot be extrapolated to recreational injuries.
在密西西比州立大学进行了一项为期4年的关于女子腰旗橄榄球运动损伤的前瞻性研究。收集了114例损伤的数据。有组织的校内腰旗橄榄球活动导致了观察到的93%的损伤（7%的损伤发生在临时组队比赛中）。这些损伤中，手指损伤占39%，膝盖损伤占16%，脚踝损伤占8%。损伤类型在扭伤、骨折、挫伤和拉伤中分布较为均匀。与其他球员和物体的碰撞导致了64%的这些损伤。进攻持球者（跑卫和接球手）受伤的可能性最大。从这些数据可以明显看出，女性的损伤模式与男性不同，大学代表队的损伤数据不能外推到娱乐性损伤情况。
