Ice-skaters more likely to injure heads
More children get hurt in-line skating than ice-skating, but those on ice suffer more injuries to their head and face, according to a U.S. study.
Research by the Center for Injury Research and Policy (CIRP) at Columbus Children's Hospital found about half of skating injuries among children aged 18 and under over a 10-year period involved in-line skating while 35 percent related to roller-skating and 15 percent to ice skating.
The study, published in the August issue of medical journal "Pediatrics," was based on an analysis of 1.2 million pediatric skating injuries recorded from 1993 to 2003 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
But while the majority of wheel-skating injuries were broken arms and wrists, ice-skaters experienced a greater proportion of head injuries -- 13 percent -- compared with 4 percent for roller skaters and 5 percent for in-line skaters.
Ice-skaters also experienced a greater proportion of concussions -- 4 percent -- compared to 0.6 percent of roller-skaters and 0.8 percent of in-line skaters.
Christy Knox, CIRP research associate and one of the study's authors, said all skaters tend to fall forward and attempt to break their falls with their arms or hands.
But because ice skating occurs on a slippery surface, attempts to break falls with the arms and hands are often unsuccessful, resulting in the head hitting the ice.
Knox said standard helmets may not adequately protect the ice skater's face and front of the head from hitting the ice and many children would be unlikely to wear the most effective protection -- a hockey-style helmet with a facemask.
The researchers who wrote the study are designing a wristguard with a non-slip palm to prevent outstretched hands from slipping on the ice, she said.
