A study conducted by Curtin University found that mountain biking is not as dangerous as commonly perceived, with the health benefits outweighing the risks. Analyzing data from various studies, researchers discovered that most injuries sustained by mountain bikers were of low severity, primarily affecting the upper limbs. In contrast, hikers were more prone to leg and ankle injuries. The study emphasized the importance of wearing protective gear, such as helmets, and highlighted the improved safety standards in the sport. The economic and health benefits of mountain biking and hiking, including cardiovascular health improvements and reduced risk of chronic diseases, were also emphasized.
