Although you specifically asked about MX and HS, I feel I would be remiss if I failed to mention Observed Trials

Observed Trials has a very low injury rate.. Even though trials riders are tackling some pretty big obstacles, the low speed keeps the significant injuries down..

In the past 5 years of all rounds of the "Texas State Series of Observed Trials" we (all State riders included in stats.) have had the following injuries:

-3 or 4 knee injuries
-1 broken leg
-1 separated shoulder
-1 lacerated tongue

Only the broken femur required EMS attention/transport. Not bad for 5 years. Because the injury risk is so low, we do not stage ambulances at trials events, which helps keep costs down.

Observed Trials is a great alternative for the motorcycle enthusiast who is concerned about significant injuries..
