abstract="Eighteen persons (average age 12.4 years) with injuries from skateboard accidents were admitted between 1 March to 5 June, 1977--4.4% of all accidents and 7.5% of all sports accidents treated during this interval. These kinds of accidents are now in fourth place as to frequency, after accidents during play (81), bicycling (45), football [soccer] (35) and motorcycling (28). To avoid skateboard accidents attention must be paid to technically high-grade equipment, reasonable skill and training, and restriction of skateboarding to enclosed areas, as well as protective clothing.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
