While there have been numerous reports in the literature of accidents in equestrian sports, no comprehensive study has been conducted to ascertain the nature and incidence of injuries incurred by professional horse-racing jockeys. A survey was conducted to determine the types of injuries to jockeys and racing-related health concerns, including weight reduction methods. The questionnaire was completed by 706 professional jockeys actively competing at United States racetracks between July and October 1990 about injuries they had sustained in their careers. More than 1,700 injuries were reported. Fractures (n = 1,113) accounted for 64% of the total. The most common cause of injury was becoming unseated, followed by the horse falling. Relationships between characteristics of jockeys and injuries were evaluated. There were significant numbers of serious injuries with prolonged periods of not riding. Recommendations for improving jockey safety are made.
虽然文献中有大量关于马术运动事故的报道，但尚未进行全面研究以确定职业赛马骑师受伤的性质和发生率。开展了一项调查，以确定骑师的受伤类型以及与赛马相关的健康问题，包括减重方法。1990年7月至10月期间，706名在美国赛马场积极参赛的职业骑师填写了关于他们在职业生涯中所受伤害的问卷。共报告了1700多处损伤。骨折（n = 1113）占总数的64%。受伤的最常见原因是被甩落，其次是马匹摔倒。评估了骑师特征与损伤之间的关系。有相当数量的重伤员长时间无法参赛。文中提出了提高骑师安全性的建议。
