The specific injury area I want to address today is that involving the neck. Neck injuries are actually very common in BJJ. We are always getting put in positions that put a strain on the neck, whether itâs a headlock, we are inverted, or even getting stacked. That part of our body takes a beating in this sport. Now obviously the neck is a vital anatomic junction.
Common Bicycle Accident Injuries. Bicycle riders are very much at risk for catastrophic injuries. Other than a helmet, cyclists have little to protect them from the impact with other vehicles, fixed objects and the pavement itself. Head injuries are the most common cause of death for bicyclists. Helmets have been shown to reduce the risk of traumatic brain injury by as much as 88 percent, according to NHTSA. However, helmets do not provide complete protection, particularly when high speeds are involved. Other serious injuries frequently seen in bicycle accidents include: 1  Spinal cord injuries, including those that cause paralysis. 2  Back injuries. 3  Knee, ankle, wrist, elbow and shoulder injuries. 4  Fractures. 5  Cuts, bruises and lacerations, often called âroad rash.â. 6  Internal injuries. 7  Wrongful death.
