NEISS Confirms Protective Equipment
Data from NEISS confirms the efficacy of protective equipment in preventing injuries associated with in-line nhl jerseys.32,18 Schieber and associates32 found that of subjects drawn from a national probability sample of those injured while in-line hockey jerseys, only 7% wore the four recommended articles of protective equipment, 46% wore no protective equipment, 45% wore knee pads, 33% wore wrist guards, and 20% wore helmets. Schieber et al.32 estimated that failure to wear wrist guards increased the possibility of wrist injuries ten-fold, and failure to wear elbow pads increased the risk of elbow injury by a factor of 9.5.
