Complete the template provided in the Word document on each extreme sport. This includes general information and then specifically participation rates, injury/fatality data. Note that many sports on the excel file are more granular breakdowns of levels of difficulty and thus don’t require a whole new write-up (ie climbing has many levels of difficulty but there are no distinct data points for those levels) Happy to discuss. But looking for more cryptic and bullet information
Ultimately, it is more important to me that the research is as accurate and thorough as possible. Short sentences are fine. I am not looking for a long expose. See attached, which were the instructions I originally provided. The primary focus of this research is the data around participation rates, injury rates, and fatality rates. Most of the readers will be keen to understand the injury and fatality data, especially as it relates to the number of episodes, hours, events, in which the participant engages in the activity. Now granted, these sports are dissimilar, so 8 seconds on a bull is not the same as 3 hours white water rafter for instance. However, if the writer will clearly spell out what the data indicates, I can always work with the data to massage it later.
With that said, all statements of fact should be referenced to a precise page number of a source document. Data for which you can find little research, should be noted as such and then quote the study that you were able to find that provides some indication of the injury and fatality rate in that limited study. I cannot stress enough that every endnote included to-date needs to be rechecked
The final mention deals with the number of sports that need a write-up. Below is a complete list of the sports that require a write-up. If there is no data for a sport, (ie BMX freestyle street), just have a description of what it is about (Wikipedia likely has a simple description) and indicate that there are no statistics available. Ignore the numbers next to each and focus on each item listed. The number was for something else and just got pasted into this file.
That will do it.
Thanks!
