Skateboarding Safety

Skateboarding is a popular recreational activity among children and teenagers. In recent years, skateboarding spin-offs, such as longboarding and mountain boarding, have also become increasingly popular.Although it is a fun and exciting activity, skateboarding carries with it a serious risk for injury. Approximately 70,000 injuries requiring a visit to the emergency department occur every year.

There are many things that parents and children can do to help prevent skateboarding injuries, such as carefully selecting safe places to ride and wearing protective gear, especially helmets. 

Common Skateboarding Injuries

On average, almost half of all skateboarding injuries involve children under age 15 and the majority of the children injured are boys.

Many injuries happen when a child loses balance, falls off the skateboard and lands on an outstretched arm. Skateboarding injuries often involve the wrist, ankle, or face.

  • Injuries to the arms, legs, neck and trunk range from cuts and bruises to sprains, strains, and broken bones. Wrist fractures are quite common. Wearing wrist guards has been shown to reduce the frequency and severity of these fractures.
  • Facial injuries, such as a broken nose or jawbone, are also common.
  • Severe injuries include concussion and other head injuries.
