What can be done to prevent the injury?
Most injuries occur when the proper protective gear is not worn. Sports safety
guidelines should be followed for
children, adolescents, and
adults.
It is also important to stay alert and attentive during high-risk sports, while
driving a motor vehicle, and while at work. Medications that slow reflexes or
cause drowsiness increase the risk
of
accidents during these activities. Illegal drugs and alcohol should be also be avoided.
