The epidemiology of travel‐related injury requires much further research. The most common causes of injury are motor vehicle accidents, drowning, poisoning and activity‐related injuries including skiing, mountaineering and rock climbing, diving, white water rafting, beach‐related trauma, and others including back injury due to lifting of, for example, heavy cases. Injuries associated with travel are thus very common but the exact nature and incidence is not known precisely. In order to determine risk factors of a specific activity, it is possible to analyse it with a generic framework, which is described. Injury prevention requires a systems approach, attempting to identify process errors, since there are usually a multitude of causative factors for each particular injury.
