Hospital statistics regarding people who go to
the emergency room after roller-skating accidents
indicate the need for more protective equipment.
Within that group of people, 75 percent of those
who had accidents in streets or parking lots had
not been wearing any protective clothing (helmets,
knee pads, etc.) or any light-reflecting material
(clip-on lights, glow-in-the-dark wrist pads, etc.).
Clearly, the statistics indicate that by investing
in high-quality protective gear and reflective
equipment, roller skaters will greatly reduce their
risk of being severely injured in an accident.
In many roller skating accidents the person
injured is not wearing appropriate protective
equipment. The statement assumes that the cause
of the accident was the injured persons lack of
high-quality protective gear and reflective
equipment. The statment does not address the fact
-47-
that accidents can occur and injuries may result
even if a person does have the appropraite highquality protective gear and reflective equipment.
The hospital statistics does show that 25%
of those injured in roller-skating accidents in
a street or parking lot were wearing some form
of protective clothing although they were still
injured. This shows that their is a 1 in 4 chance
that someone wearing protective equipment will
stil be injured if involved in an accident. The
arguement depends purely on assumptions that
the accidents that roller-skaters are involved in
are minor and not life threatening. The their was
a greater amount of life-threateing injuries such as
roller-skater verses automobile, the fact that they
wore protective equipment would be of little help
to the injured person.
More analysis would need to be done before
deciding if the high-quality protective gear and
reflective equipment would greatly reduce the risk
of being severly injured in an accident. One must
consider what types of accidents roller-skaters are
most likely to get into and weither they would be injured despite the fact that they wear protective
equipment.
