The Great Roller Derby Injury Survey
Hello, I'm Sausage Roller and I'd like to know about ambulances.

I'd like to know what the average injury rate is when playing Roller Derby. It's really hard to tell if your league is low/average/high in terms of injury rate, so I've put together this little survey to try to find out. The more leagues who can fill it out, the better. All results will be shared as soon as they show anything useful.

Feel free to skip any question not marked as Required.

Leagues names won't be disclosed in the results when they're published.

The WFTDA are currently supporting a formal survey of injuries (http://www.wftda.com/news/academic-study-examines-roller-derby-injuries), this is less about the specifics of the injury, and more about the frequency. Quantity not quality, if you will.

About your League
Name of League

Number of Members *
Just so we have a rough estimate of the size of your league

If you're not sure, just a rough estimate will be fine.
Number of skaters passed minimum skills *
Number of skaters NOT passed minimum skills *
Average number of skaters at a training session *
A basic estimate is fine.
Your League's total training hours per week *
In total, how many hours a week of training does your league provide (only count ON-SKATES training)
Average length of training sessions
In hours
Injuries
Select the answer closest to your estimation. I'm interested in any injury caused at a training session (including scrimmages).
Average frequency of small injuries *
Injuries where a skater has to sit out of training, but requires nothing else (so no ice-packs) other than a sit down and is back on skates at the next training session.
Average frequency of medium injuries *
Injuries where a skater has to sit out of training and requires an ice-pack or other basic first aid.
Over the last year
If you don't know, use the last 4 months and multiply by 3.
Number of serious injuries in the last 12 months *
Injuries where a skater possibly goes to the hospital (not via ambulance) and who requires a period of off-skates recovery no longer than 4 weeks
Number of very-serious injuries in the last 12 months *
Injuries where a skater possibly goes to the hospital (not via ambulance) and who requires a period of off-skates recovery longer than a month
Number of emergency call-outs in the last 12 months *
Injuries where a skater requires an ambulance (or is taken to Hospital) immediately.
Number of broken bones in the last 12 months *
How many skaters in your league have broken at least one bone during training?
How do you think your League's injury rate compares to other League's?
1 = much lower/fewer injuries, 5 = about the same/unsure, 10 = much higher/more injuries
