How many motocross injuries in the US per year?

Answer 1

alot of Motocross racers (like me) can get hurt from not wearing the back of their chest protecters and get landed on or stabed in the back with a footpeg. Believe me it HURTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Equipment is extremely important, there would be alot less injuries if people who ride, (not just motocross) wear the right equipment. You have to make a decision how important you/your body is and how much you enjoy riding, its hard to enjoy riding if you have a broken leg, arm, ankle, wrist, etc., having the right equipment can save you from many injuries even death. Start with the best Helmet money can buy, good goggles, get the new Hahns device for the neck, (they're like the Nascar drivers wear, only for motorcycle racers) and yes a chest protector, front and back, a good jersey, motocross pants with shin & knee guards, good gloves, and the best motocross boots you can get. As far as how many get hurt riding motocross, the number keeps rising, to many to count. I was in a race where a fellow racer bought a cheap 3/4 face helmet from a department store, he fell after a jump and the bike behind him couldn't miss him, that was my first experience with a tragedy at a motocross race. "Wear all the proper/best equipment you can get"In a nut shell to many. Come on get smart ware gear I have a broken arm and leg because of it. I

Way to many, there are ton's of injuries every year,from broken bones,fractures, strains, pulled muscles, torn tenden & legiments, dislocations, the list goes on an on. when I raced that was part of the game, you just accepted it and moved on.

noone really will be able to answer this because injuries in mx sx fmx are accidental, so maybe one year there will be no injuries, then again usually there is about 900 regular injuries from just trail riding including burns, and inproper use of the bike or not wearing the gear needed for the bike

Answer 4

If you are talking globally the figure would be enormous and while no one could really state the exact amount it would shock a lot of people. Even at club level racing the ambulance is often a frequent site and it is nothing for a days racing to have 5 or 6 injuries. They can be from sprains to major injuries. Many clubs run race meets each weekend so if you said there were 50 clubs in each state running meets and tally that up. Then add the national events. You would need to do this in each country and so you can imagine how large the list would be. Then you also need to add in injuries from riders training for motocross. In the years I have been involved in the sport I know half a dozen riders who have lost the use of their legs and more than that some of them have lost their lives. It is a high consequence sport.
