A crash in triathlon, cycling, or endurance sport is an abrupt fall or impact that can injure the athlete as well as their equipment. There are numerous reasons for crashes, such as riding too wide or too narrow when turning, equipment failure, crashing with another competitor, or external causes such as slick roads or barriers. Crashes in the race alter the outcome, not only for the crashing athlete but for the entire race. Assistance for the rider after crashing and immediate medical attention are critical in minimizing injuries and ensuring safety for all.
