The Safety Of Motor Sports

“I had never even heard of Dale Earnhardt until he crashed into eternity, but now here I am writing a column about him” (King, 64). This reaction, recorded by Florence King in National Review, seems to be a common one since Earnhardt’s death in the Daytona 500. Dale Earnhardt was a driver in the Winston Cup circuit for the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR). Despite the fact that he is arguably the most popular NASCAR driver, many people did not know who he was until he died. It is sad to realize that sometimes it takes death to become recognized. However, Dale is not the only NASCAR driver who is becoming known from his death. In a span of nine months, Tony Roper, Adam Petty,

Racing seats have shoulder straps that hold the driver snugly to the seat. A crash at these speeds can rip a

A barrel horse will get hot when going into a gate.a horses that is hot going into a gate means that the horse is rearing or can't stand still when waiting to be singled to run the barrel pattern. A horse will have gate issues they will get gate sour. A person doesn't want that because when a person goes up to a gate, people want a horse that'll go in with any problems or rearing up with them, backing up to where they don't want to go into the. People want a horse that will go easy in the gate that won't have problems or rearing problems. They are ways to fix gate issues. A person can take the time to work with their horses by taking ten to fifteen minutes, walking in and out of the gate.

“I remember walking into the house and dropping to my knees, tears filling my eyes.” Brian’s dad made it back in time for Christmas. “After he recovered from his injury he persuaded me to race and ever since then I’ve been racing all around.” Brian himself suffered many injuries from racing. “My first injury is by far my most remembered. I broke my leg on the last lap after hitting an approach.” I had a chance to watch Brian race and the experience that he described. “Getting hit in football or any other sport is physically demanding, but you get breaks. Breaks in the form of quarters, halves, time-outs, or even between plays or fouls. In motocross there is no breaks. In sports you have a team that you can rely on in case you mess up. In motocross you mess up you either lose or are injured, many times

P2 - Describing the the legal factors and regulatory bodies that influence health and safety in sport. Introducton In this assignment I will describe the legal factors and regulatory bodies that influence health and saftey in sport the factors i’ll be describing are: • Satutory Law • Civil Law • Case Law The codes of practice for these factors are: • In Loco Parentis • Duty of Care • Higher Duty of Care • Negliyence • Regulaority bodies Statutory Law Statutory law is in place for everyone such as, teachers/instructors, other employers and students.

Those familiar with skiing know that there are risks involved when one chooses to participate in the sport.  Those risks, however, should be associated with self-inflicted harm caused by mistakes that a skier may make and not unforeseen obstacles and dangerous situations.  The injuries sustained by Alex Johnson on the slopes at Bethlehem Ice Solutions (BIS) were not self-inflicted; far from it.  They were the result of negligence on the part of BIS who failed to mark boundaries that separates the slopes and caused Craig to crossover onto another slope, walking directly into Alex’s path and colliding into

Now when racers are speeding around the track at high speeds, fans, officials, and racers are assured that they are safe from severe injuries. However, if a tragedy like this ever happens again, you must stay calm. Do not cause a panic that might storm onto the track and further hurt the driver. All you can really do is stay in the stands and pray that the driver is

Safety checks should be carried out to eliminate the risk of putting the safety of people attending a sporting event at risk.

For years’ sports venue have been having problems with safety and risk management with fans and facility. The four steps a sports venue could take to avoid risk injury to fans attending games are identifying the risk, contain the risk, make sure you have insurance, and try to avoid the risk

Do people have to die for things to be changed? In NASCAR they are always looking at safety and standards that are always changing. NASCAR stands for the National Association for Stock Car Racing. NASCAR has been a big part of my life since I was a child. When I was young not only did I watch the races on TV with my family, I would be at the track every week with my racing family, watching at a NASCAR sanctioned track. Racing had become a drastic part of my life at an early age because my mother had passed away. My father wanted to bring the family together at least once a week and do something together. Not only did my family watch racing in TV or on the track we raced ourselves my brother, sister and I raced while my father worked on

“Talk to high level athletes about their tactical preparation on of performance, and inevitably the words “concentration,” “attention,” or “focus” will be part of the conversation.” (Blumenstein 3). Elite Athletes undoubtedly are faced with psychological stress of performing their sport. In racecar driving those stresses can be heightened due the extreme nature of the sport. Racecar drivers are expected to multi-task at high level of speeds. They stay focused for long periods of time in

The giant dramatic collisions between players moving at very fast speed one of the great attractions of the sport for some fans, and one of the biggest threats to its popularity. The toll these big hits take on the long-term health of players has many fans reconsidering their allegiances, on ethical grounds.

These three incidents of sports illustrates that injuries can be unpleasant in any sports given and athletes have great amount of risks while they continue their game in the field, in order to amuse their viewers (Bird 91). Apart from the examples mentioned above, there are several small and large accidents that have occurred in the past and they have made the life of sportsmen bitter and even their future uncertain, with respect to their ability to work.

In the recent years, the United States government has been enforcing stricter mandates on auto manufacturers to create safer vehicles, and on construction companies to create safer roadways. Matthew Jensen wrote a dissertation for the Graduate School of Clemson University titled, A Methodology for the Analysis of In-vehicle Operating Data and Design of Intelligent Vehicle Systems for Improved Automotive Safety. In his abstract, Jensen evaluated the future of vehicle manufacturing and traffic-related incidents. Of course, every year more vehicles are manufactured, which in theory means the number of miles driven in vehicles increases. He points out how the World Health Organization (WHO) found that automobile crashes was the ninth

Along with accidents not only comes a little headache or a broken bone, but injuries that stay with you forever such as whiplash and brain damage. Most brain damage incidents occur when you are involved in a side impact collision and the side of your head hits the glass (brain injury). Side impact airbags are just one of the many ways in which this type of life threatening injury can be avoided (whiplash). There is also whiplash, which hurls your head violently, and usually results in long term disability. Since whiplash is so hard to avoid, it can only be avoided by reducing the number of accidents on the streets. Also one of the most painful and most traumatizing injuries that we encounter in accidents are bone fractures, which occur in 65% of all accidents (Bush 11). So in turn by making these cars safer we can all avoid these painful, traumatizing, life-threatening injuries.
