In a field study the injury pattern as well as the active and passive injury prophylaxis of 1036 inline skaters were evaluated. Of them, 60% had already been injured. Every 124 h an injury occurred during inline skating. While 61% of the injuries affected only soft tissue, 31% were joint distorsions, and 8% were fractures. Altogether 37% of the 626 injured skaters required medical treatment. The upper extremities are especially at risk: 78% of the fractures and 48% of the distorsions affected the fingers, wrist, forearm or elbow. It is obvious that the inline skaters' passive prophylaxis measures are still unsatisfactory. Only 17% of the questioned used complete protection, whereas 16% were wearing no protective gear at all. Of the rest, 49% were skating with wrist guards, 66% were using knee pads, and 31% elbow pads. A high percentage of injuries is due to the lack of basic knowledge and techniques. The survey revealed that only 24% can stop immediately. While 51% had only slight problems with braking, 16% admitted having great difficulties, and 7% were not able to brake at all. These numbers reveal that there are still large deficits regarding braking techniques and education on the risks of injury. Therefore, athletes who use this equipment for the first time should learn the basic techniques of skating, braking and falling with the help of a qualified instructor. Most of all those questioned wanted to have more information, and half would be interested in special educational programmes.
在一项实地研究中，对1036名单排轮滑者的受伤模式以及主动和被动预防受伤情况进行了评估。其中，60%的人已经受过伤。在轮滑过程中，每124小时就会发生一起受伤事件。61%的受伤仅影响软组织，31%为关节扭伤，8%为骨折。在626名受伤的轮滑者中，共有37%的人需要接受治疗。上肢尤其危险：78%的骨折和48%的扭伤影响手指、手腕、前臂或肘部。显然，轮滑者的被动预防措施仍不尽人意。只有17%的受访者使用了全面防护装备，而16%的人根本没有佩戴任何防护装备。其余的人中，49%戴着护腕轮滑，66%使用护膝，31%使用护肘。很大一部分受伤是由于缺乏基本知识和技巧。调查显示，只有24%的人能立即停下来。51%的人刹车时只有轻微问题，16%的人承认刹车有很大困难，7%的人根本无法刹车。这些数字表明，在刹车技巧和受伤风险教育方面仍存在很大不足。因此，首次使用该装备的运动员应在合格教练的帮助下学习轮滑、刹车和摔倒的基本技巧。大多数受访者希望获得更多信息，一半的人对特殊教育项目感兴趣。
