“…3 Accidents frequently occur in road traffic in which cyclists collide with motor vehicles, another cyclist or pedestrians. 11 The main mechanism of injuries in this study was accidental falls (63 per cent), comparable with the Innsbruck series. 7,11 Falls frequently occur due to loss of balance or foot slipping from the pedal.…”

“…12 Patients in this study were predominantly young males between their first to third decade of life. Similar series have identified young age as the main risk factor, 3,11 possibly due to higher risk-taking behaviours as well as cycling being a more common form of transportation in this age group.…”

“…11 However, maxillofacial fractures were found to be frequent among child bicycle riders, even when a national standard helmet was worn, with a study showing a high proportion of patients with facial fractures wearing helmets at the time of injury. 18 This suggests that the standard road cycle helmets provide significant protection against brain injury, but less protection against facial fractures.…”

Facial fractures in road cyclists

Background: Despite the safety devices worn by bicycle riders and the road safety measures designed to protect them, road cycling is still associated with frequent traumas, notably to the extremities. Maxillofacial injuries are common, especially when road traffic accidents occur. There is a paucity of literature on the epidemiology of bicycle-related facial fractures in New Zealand. Methods: A retrospective database of patients presenting to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Unit at Christchurch Hospital during an 11-year period was reviewed. Variables examined included demographics, types of fracture, mode of injury, and treatment delivered. Results: Sixty-three patients were identified as having road bicycle-related facial fractures, with no increase in prevalence over the study period. Male to female ratio was 3:1, with 76 per cent involving patients aged between their first and third decade. Fall was the most common mechanism of injury, followed by collision. Fifty-two per cent of patients were hospitalized and 40 per cent required surgical intervention. The highest incidence of injury was during January. Conclusions: Road bicycle-related fractures accounted for a small proportion of the workload at our unit. They predominantly affected young male adults. More than half of the patients were hospitalized and a major proportion of these required surgery.

“…Rosen states that the technology of mountain bikes developed as a result of biking enthusiasts who wished to ride where conventional bicycles were inadequate (Rosen 2002: 133), and it is not surprising to find that when it comes to mountain biking there is a range of literature concerning the prevention and management of physical risk. Besides the debate over the wearing of helmets, which has a research foundation devoted to it (the Bicycle Helmet Research Foundation), other recent papers include a discussion of other risk factors such as perineal trauma (Zandrino et al 2004) and facial trauma (Kloss et al 2006), a large-scale detailed assessment of mountain biking-associated spinal fractures and spinal cord injuries (Dodwell et al 2010), and studies of the physiological demands of downhill mountain biking (Burr et al 2012) and injuries sustained therein (Becker et al 2013), which although dealing with a more extreme variation of mountain biking, also applies to those encountering rough downhill terrain on the Pebblebed heathlands.…”

PrefaceThe research for this book took place from 2008 to 2012. It ran in tandem with an archaeological project involving a fieldwork survey of the entire heathlands, and excavations of multiple sites during the same time period directed by Chris Tilley. It is important to acknowledge this in terms of the discussion of this being a contested landscape. After moving to the area and having decided to visit all the prehistoric cairns, Chris went walking on the heathlands with Tor, his dog. These became walks with a purpose. After seeing all the cairns he decided to walk between them in order to study their relationship to each other and the unique Pebblebed landscape in which they are situated. He quickly became fascinated with the pebbles and how these bright and rounded objects transform what otherwise might appear, to the casual observer, to be a quite monotonous landscape. Realizing that this was unlikely to be just a contemporary appreciation, he then initiated the project. From an archaeologist's perspective he is trying to create a story of the past in the present: a story involving the topography; a story involving the pebbles, the land, the sea, the sky, the sun; and integrate these things into some kind of sense of how it might have been, all the time trying to link past and present. And so the anthropological project investigating the meaning and significance of the contemporary heathland and its pebbles arose. All the research was carried out by Chris and Kate Cameron-Daum. It was very much a collaborative exercise in which both of us were engaged in participant observation and interviews with over one hundred informants. Chris and his family were living in the research area and Kate was staying with them: this had definite advantages in that the field site was quite literally entered when leaving the front door of the house. This permitted sustained engagement with both the heathland landscape and those working there or visiting it throughout the years and in all weathers and seasons. This facilitated, we believe, something of an intimate 'insider's' (the punctuation marks to be emphasized) knowledge of the landscape and the establishment of ongoing personal contacts and relationships. During the course of the archaeological research and the An AnThropology of lAnDsCApe viii viii viii anthropological research discussed here the landscape has become a powerful element in the formation of our own biographies and identities. We both wanted to study anthropology as students because we were interested in the lives of others and how an understanding of them might lead us to reflect on our own lives and experiences. Although the two cannot be separated, we did not choose to study anthropology to learn about the anthropologists conducting the research, their lives, trials and tribulations in the field. We take it as axiomatic that it is from the ethnographic self that accounts arise, that self-reflexivity in research is fundamental and that all our findings are subjective (Clifford and Marcus 1986; Clifford 1...
