In 1993 there was an estimated 12.6 million in-line skaters in the US. In-line skating is popular because of its affordability and its exercise and recreational value. The main risk factors for injury include speed, obstacles and hard surfaces. Using the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System in US hospitals, 31,000 skaters were reported injured over a 12 month period. Fractures, dislocations, sprains, strains and avulsion made up 67% of all injuries. It is recommended that skaters wear protection equipment including, helmet, wrist guards, knee-pads and elbow-pads. Although head injuries from skating appear low in numbers, helmet protection is also recommended. Further studies are required that assess risk factors for injury and environmental and behavioural aspects.
1993年，美国约有1260万轮滑爱好者。轮滑运动广受欢迎，原因在于其价格亲民，兼具锻炼和娱乐价值。受伤的主要风险因素包括速度、障碍物和坚硬表面。利用美国医院的国家电子伤害监测系统，在12个月的时间里，有3.1万名轮滑者被报告受伤。骨折、脱位、扭伤、拉伤和撕裂伤占所有伤害的67%。建议轮滑者佩戴防护装备，包括头盔、护腕、护膝和护肘。尽管轮滑造成的头部受伤数量似乎较少，但也建议佩戴头盔进行保护。需要进一步开展研究，评估受伤的风险因素以及环境和行为方面的因素。
