A new report from the University of British Columbia suggests there is an “alarming” number of people getting spinal cord injuries while mountain biking.

Researchers found 58 people in B.C. sustained a spinal cord injury while mountain biking between 2008 and 2022. There were only three such injuries from ice hockey in the same 14-year period.
