Hi there! I'm writing a dissertation on health and safety regulations at cross country events, and need some interviews! Quite simply, I'm going to Tweseldown tomorrow to watch the events, and wondered off-hand if anybody on here might be going and might want to have a quick chat to help...

rhino, to be perfectly honest I don't understand why you feel the need to assess my researching capabilities. I'm not claiming to be a professional, obviously I don't know everything about the subject and have missed certain points made in some documents on the website. the point of me doing...

nope, definitely on topic! do you know why it didn't inflate on your rotational?

anyway - this thread isn't about my dissertation! some things that have come up here (and part of the BE safety manifesto) is jump safety - any thoughts on frangible pins and falling elements?

haha - unfortunately because of the nature of my course most of it is coursework not exams, so the dissertation is only 6000 words. the way we do it is to read around the subject, write critically about what we've found, then design a methodology to further the research with primary methods and...

No, I hadn't read that but I have now followed the link posted earlier and asked if it's OK. This isn't a survey, no information is going to be published anywhere, I simply wanted to start a thread and generate a discussion about the two topics (which seems to be what all the threads are...

That's interesting; how do you feel the motorcyle gilet would compare to an equestrian air-jacket?

OK, just to smooth things out... Yes, I'm a final year student, and my dissertation is due in at the end of April. I have done background reading and already written a 2000 word literature review on the subject. My knowledge of the subject is irrelevant as my own opinion, quite frankly...

Hi arcticfox, that link won't open on my phone for some reason, but apologies for my lack of introduction! I'm a final year student at Sheffield Hallam University, my degree is in event management and my dissertation is a 6000 word research project on a subject of my choice (I've chosen...

yeah, it is amazing how they've come along! I've never done cross country myself, the thought of the jumps not falling down or the horse spooking at the jump has do far put me off! Are there any types of jump over xc that particularly gets the adrenaline going for you or makes you think...

con234 - sorry to hear about your accident, that sounds awful. we're you wearing your point 2 when you had this first fall?

hi millitiger, thanks for the comment. my research is into the regulations and rules applied to eventing in the uk that limit the risk of and extent of injury to riders. the focal areas of my particular project are on course design and protective equipment (so from the perspectives of fall...

can I just ask what 'iirc' means?

ah I see...how do they check rider competence in the higher levels? I haven't found any information on that at all so far!
