Almost 50 percent of head injuries sustained in sports or recreational activities occur during bicycling, skateboarding, or skating incidents. More than 775,000 children, ages 14 and younger, are treated in hospital emergency rooms for sports-related injuries each year. Most of the injuries occurred as a result of falls, being struck by an object, collisions, and overexertion during unorganized or informal sports activities.
In 2013, when eight players died directly from on-field injuries, that rate spiked to 0.73 per 100,000, before it dipped last year slightly to 0.45 per 100,000. Notably, only 37 percent of public high schools had access to a full-time athletic trainer, according to a recent study in the Journal of Athletic Training.
