help my kid with his research,,, 5 quick questions please

[jostby]

See my last post pg3 for results. Thanks to all that contributed!

We're done taking results from this survey. Anyone posting going forward will just be for the benefit of "as info" to the GGRC community. We will try to compile this info into something meaningfull for everyone to see but the results are obviously not a typical cross section of society. Most everyone on this board are pretty hard core riders or racers. And we all know if you want to race competitively you are eventually going to get injured. I will add my info on at the last post dated 12/11. Thanks again, Jeff & Wes.

My son is doing a research paper (high-school senior) on off-road related injuries and is trying to gather some data. Answers from this site may be a little skewed as I think most of you are pretty hard core riders and most if not all of you have received one type of moderate or severe injury at one time or another. That being said is there any way I can get you guys to fill out his survey for him? If you have multiple family members feel free to add them also. No need to get too descriptive with the answers. You can PM me or reply to this thread. He appreciates your help. ALSO, please reply even if no injuries and your age would be a big help!
Thanks!

3 If yes have you ever received moderate or severe injuries while using an Off Road Vehicle? Yes No

Yes



4 If yes, what type of injury or injuries did you receive while using an Off Road Vehicle?

Hit buried cable that stopped me instantly - Dislocated Shoulder
Roosted by friend - Lacerated upper lip - 4-5 stitches...
A bunch of scrapes and bruises - have you ever gotten the hole shot and then have 39 guys run over you in the first turn?

(Example: Broken Arm, Concussion, Cut Leg and needed 8 stitches, etc)

5 What was your age (or ages if multiple) when you received your injuries?
A. Dislocated Shoulder at 15 yrs
B. Facial Laceration at 28 years

By the way, when you go to the emergency room - always say you were skateboarding or roller blading - that way they won't use statistics to ban the sport! Also, if you say you fell off a ladder at home - your insurance company doesn't come to you asking whose property you were on or if you were competing in a race...
