How often do horse racing accidents occur?

Question

Accidents that involve injured jockeys.

Answer 1

Well, hard to say. I see something every race season where I live and that on a day I go, so, I am sure I miss some things. Most times the Jockey know how to dismount when trouble start, but, there a few get hurt. More times the horse is hurt, and that not every time.

I tried to find you some Statistics, but, maybe I not searching correct. Sorry.

They are more likely to get injured steeplechasing and hurdling than on the flat but it's a risk that you take and it goes with the territory.  However, fatalities are rare and more common in cross country eventing.

Answer 5

If you took every track across North American and applied your answer, I would sadly say a jockey gets injured once a day. Of course, this depends on how you define injury, too.
