Preventing Jewellery-Related Injuries in Sports:
Sports Safety And Jewellery
(Safety Initiative to Help Prevent Jewellery-Related Accidents Injuries)
As you are aware, it is
recommended to remove jewellery when
participating
in physical education activities
(indoor and outdoor
facilities).
That's why coaches and parents are constantly hounding children to remove ear studs, nose rings, watches, rings anklets and other hanging accessories that could cause harm or be broken.
Jewellery-related sports accidents and injuries can happen when jewellery worn by participants:
Comes in contact with players on his\her or opposing team members (football, soccer, hockey, basketball, martial arts, etc.)
Comes in contact with sporting equipment (gym training equipment, walls at the gym, fences in parks, pools, etc.)
For this reason, it is a strict safety rule in most sports leagues (esp. contact sports à la basketball, football, hockey, self defence classes) to remove any-and-all jewellery BEFORE a practice, training in a gym and competing in a game.
By removing these pieces of jewellery and other items of this nature, sports leagues can prevent injuries that could be disfiguring.
Earrings in
particular are prone to being torn from earlobes when contact is made.
