Kitesurfing ÄR farligt enligt forskare.
Jepp, vet inte om detta varit uppe här redan (råkar ju vara vindsurfare själv), men det var kul att se. Stötte på denna referens i PubMed (en databas för medicinska forskningsrapporter).

A prospective study of kitesurfing injuries.

BACKGROUND: To date, the pattern and rate of kitesurfing injuries are largely unclear. HYPOTHESIS: The pattern and rate of kitesurfing injuries are comparable to that of contact sports such as football and soccer. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective study. METHODS: The study was conducted over a 6-month period of 1 season and included 235 kitesurfers. RESULTS: The number of self-reported injuries was 124, for an overall self-reported injury rate of 7 per 1000 hours of practice. One fatal accident (polytrauma) and 11 severe injuries occurred during the study period (2 knee ligament injuries and 9 fractures at various sites). The most commonly injured sites were the foot and ankle (28%), skull (14%), chest (13%), and knee (13%). Fifty-six percent of the injuries were attributed to the inability to detach the kite from the harness in a situation involving loss of control over the kite. There was a tendency for athletes using a quick-release system to sustain fewer injuries than athletes without such a release system. CONCLUSION: Kitesurfing can be considered a high-risk sport. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The use of a quick-release system that enables the surfers to detach the kite in case of an accident might aid in the prevention of injuries.

[Mechanisms and prevention of kitesurfing injuries]
[Article in German]

Aim of this study was to analyse the mechanisms of kitesurfing injuries. For this purpose we performed a survey among 72 kitesurfers in the north of Germany. 31 accidents have been registrated among all 72 athletes during the 2001 season. 3 additional accidents occurred where a windsurfer got injured. 5 athletes had medium injuries such as fractures, all remaining athletes presented with minor injuries, that did not require medical treatment. The incidence of medium kite injuries was 1/1000 hours; the incidence of minor kite injuries was 5/1000 hours. The most common injury mechanism was a direct trauma against things such as stones and boats lying on the beach. The most common situation in which the injury occurred was the lost of control about the kite on the beach or close to the beach due to technical mistakes of the surfer, oversized kites, or the wind conditions (onshore wind, overpower). Further injuries occurred due to collisions with windsurfers or sailing boats. Kitesurfing is a new rapidly growing sport. To date the risk potential of this new sport is unclear. The analysis of the injury mechanisms allows conclusion regarding the prevention of kitesurfing injuries.

[Injury mechanisms in windsurfing regatta]
[Article in German]

Klinik fur Orthopadie, Christian Albrechts Universitat zu Kiel.
In a retrospective study, we evaluated the injuries of 44 semi-professional competitors for the German Windsurf Cup, which were suffered from during one windsurfing season. This Cup is the national qualification tour for the annual ”production fun board world championship”. The subjects, participating in our study were randomly chosen. There were no surf-specific differences between the two groups. The average age was 24.63% had competitive surfing as their hobby, 37% were professional or semi-professional board sailors. The subjects surfed an average of 85 days in 1995. 23 (52%) windsurfers did not get hurt during the entire season. 21 (48%) of them got injured during the 1995 windsurf season. This is an incidence of only one injury per 174 windsurfing days. Only three windsurfers were injured during a competition. The other 18 occurred during training sessions. Most accidents happened because of an overpower situation, i.e. the sail was too big for the wind force (43%), or through negligence on the part of the windsurfer (19%). The most frequent type of the accident was the so called catapult crash (57%). The most common injuries were ligament ruptures of the lower leg (33%) and head burst wounds (19%). Compared with other competitive fun sports (e.g. snow boarding), windsurfing has a lower injury risk. In regard to the injury mechanisms, prophylactic recommendations are made.

det är farligt o leva man kan faktiskt dö…
jävla tyska ufoo, gå o dö

Tack för informationen det var omtänksamt av dig.
Enl den där studien i norra tyskland så rapporterades 31 tillbud bland 72 surfare. 26 av dessa var mindre tillbud, dvs de behövde inte uppsöka läkare. Om mindre tillbud är allt där man skadar sig oavsett hur mycket men inte behöver uppsöka läkare ligger jag nog på 100% där. Är fan inte många gånger man kommer hem utan en skråma eller något som ömar.

Intressant info! Tack för att du framförde den till oss!

Kitesurfing har sina risker tyvärr, och idag kunde vi läsa om ännu en dödsolycka ;
http://dailytelegraph.news.com.au/story.jsp?sectionid=1274&storyid=2105083
Det hände i Nya Zeeland och sägs vara den första dödsolyckan i landet. Och det kan hända i sverige, frågan är väl mer när…
Så kita med respekt och omdöme, kitekompisar…

Ja mannen på bilden, Doug Wisor, finns inte längre ibland oss, ännu en kite tragedi… [bild]

FEL! Alla dör till sist av det -
Tragiskt dödsfall…
Men åter till den tyska texten! Alla som ger sig in i sporten vet väl att det finns en hög risk för skador och även för att dö. Journalister borde nog fokusera på den höga riskfaktor som finns överallt i vårt vardagliga samhälle!
Statistiken i sig var väl ny men inte sammanfattnigen! Tycker det är synd att den som gjort undersökning har gjort den så ”klinikst” tråkig! Inte direkt anpassat till kitesurfare… -
Hehe tjäna Adde! Grym artikel! Folk dör hit o dit det e ju bara så.
Om man dör av kite eller när man e ute o åker bräda offpist vad gör de. Bara man har ball så länge man lever Folk som är rädda för sporten kan ju ta det lugnare eller konvertera över till schack eller fia.
Man borde införa förbud mot husvagnar -
fast det ar tydligen storre risk att skada sig om man tavlar i handball,22 basketball,1 volleyball,21 soccer,5,13 ice hockey,14 and American football.
Skillnaden med kite ar att man faktisk kan do

E de bara jag som e förvånad att inte fler tyskar blev skadade
i studien..det e tyskar vi talar om herrugud…hur många fastnade t ex i sina string o vred höften ur led, det e vad jag vill veta -
DUUuuu….. vet du hur rutinerade och hur många generationer de har levt med dessa underkläder?
rutinerade som fan
