Summary
| Description |
English: Kelsall Hill Horse Trials, frangible pin: Frangible pins were first introduced as a safety measure into eventing in 2002. As their name suggests, these pins, inserted between the top rail of a cross-country obstacle and the uprights supporting it, are designed to break if hit with sufficient force and thus instantly collapse the top rail. This gives the horse a chance of getting a leg forward to save it from the dreaded 'rotational fall', where the force of hitting an unyielding obstacle can cause a horse to somersault over a fence and land on the rider. Rotational falls are far and away the commonest cause of serious injury and deaths among event riders.
Deutsch: Abwerfbares Geländehindernis (frangible pin) beim Geländeritt der Kelsall Hill Horse Trials 2015. Diese abwerfbaren Hindernisse sollen die Auswirkungen von Stürzen an massiven Hindernissen vermindern und Rotationsstürze (rotational falls) verhindern. |
