Abstract
Safety in Sports Engineering is a broad and diverse topic. The papers in this section reflect that diversity. Historically safety in sport has been a stated goal, but often was secondary to performance. As we become more sophisticated in our ability to analyze and anticipate problems, we also become more proficient in the application of analytical tools such as qualitative analysis, simulation, application of new materials to old problems, statistical analysis, experimental field and lab studies, as well as epidemiological data to determine the degree to which a product might work.
