Abstract des Autors
A survey of injuries that occurred in 70 North American fox hunting associations during the 1981-82 fox hunting season was conducted to determine the risks. Results of a questionnaire showed that severity of injury increased with the age of the rider, and frequency increased with experience of the rider. Men were injured more frequently than women. The typical injured fox hunter was an older man riding a gelding on flat land rather than jumping during the middle of the hunt season. The survey indicates that this sport is probably no more dangerous than any other horseback-riding activity. Verf.-Referat
