How many motocross injuries in the US per year?

alot of Motocross racers (like me) can get hurt from not wearing the back of their chest protecters and get landed on or stabed in the back with a footpeg. Believe me it HURTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Equipment is extremely important, there would be alot less injuries if people who ride, (not just motocross) wear the right equipment. You have to make a decision how important you/your body is and how much you enjoy riding, its hard to enjoy riding if you have a broken leg, arm, ankle, wrist, etc., having the right equipment can save you from many injuries even death. Start with the best Helmet money can buy, good goggles, get the new Hahns device for the neck, (they're like the Nascar drivers wear, only for motorcycle racers) and yes a chest protector, front and back, a good jersey, motocross pants with shin & knee guards, good gloves, and the best motocross boots you can get. As far as how many get hurt riding motocross, the number keeps rising, to many to count. I was in a race where a fellow racer bought a cheap 3/4 face helmet from a department store, he fell after a jump and the bike behind him couldn't miss him, that was my first experience with a tragedy at a motocross race. "Wear all the proper/best equipment you can get"In a nut shell to many. Come on get smart ware gear I have a broken arm and leg because of it. I
