In brief
The medical team at the International Finals Rodeo has kept records for the last 6 years on all injuries sustained by the riders. Eighty-six of the 738 participants sustained a total of 90 injuries. Most of these injuries occurred during rough-stock riding events. Comparing this injury data with previous data on intercollegiate and state competitions suggests that the injury rate at elite competitions is much lower.
