Protective Equipment Can Stop Injuries

The proposition that protective equipment could reduce the frequency and severity of injuries associated with Hockey Jerseys prompted several investigators to study the frequency and patterns of use by skaters. Young and Mark41 noted that of the 1,548 skaters observed by them, 31.7% wore no protective equipment, 64.5% wore only wrist guards, and only 2.6% wore helmets. Overall, adolescent males, children under 12 years of age, and advanced-level skaters were the least likely to wear protective equipment.
