former accidents and medical backgrounds
In the past, Pröll had come into difficulty in cycling accidents. In 2017 he accidentally accidentally accidentally crashed his hometown and contracted a pelvic pound and pubic broken fracture after he could not solve the clicks of his bicycle shoes in time. A year later, on the "Legends Tour", he fell due to a tire space and suffered deep grazes and several rib injuries. A damaged helmet prevented serious injuries. Despite these incidents, Pröll remains a committed supporter of cycling and sporty.
The health risks when cycling should not be underestimated. According to an overview of cycling, around 81 million bicycles and around 85,000 reported bicycle accidents are reported in Germany. Smaller injuries such as abrasions and bruises are common, while serious injuries, especially on the head, can have serious consequences. Around 80% of these severe head injuries can be avoided by wearing a helmet, which underlines the importance of security measures. In the event of a fall, people react instinctively by stretching their hands, which often leads to wrist or shoulder injuries.
Therefore, every cyclist should take careful measures, such as wearing a helmet and taking a first aid set with you in order to be well prepared in an emergency. If there is severe pain, a visit to the doctor is indispensable.
