Injuries due to hiking and mountain biking (separately) from the period 2015-2021

We are seeking to obtain a further breakdown of the Sport Injury Data looking specifically at; Mountain biking : Hiking Sport: A similar dataset which was presented for 'Running Related Injuries' on this site; would serve as a good example. Including: - Total claims for each year (last 10 years) - By region (Location) - Ethnic Groups - Ages - Sex - Types of Injuries - Injury Cause and; - Injury Site. CSV/Excel data is fine. We would like to get access to dataset for injuries caused due to mountain biking and hiking (two different datasets) during the time period of 2015 to 2021.

We wish to work to find solutions to reduce the injuries caused in this area of sports related injuries (mountain biking/ hiking).
We want to better understand the risks involved in engaging in these sports. and the correlation between the high incidences of injury, age demographic and sites where injury is occurring. We want to undertake risk analysis for these sports and undertake risk assessment by providing simple practical solutions to minimise those risks

Allowing a better understanding of the very high prevalence of injuries in undertaking these sports (mountain biking and hiking) to find out which one comparatively more risky and how these risks can be assessed and practical solutions be found to reduce these.
