摘要：Introduction: Sabah is unique due to a combination of sports and recreation with nature leads to the establishment of interesting places to visit and observe the beauty of flora and fauna. At the same time, sports and recreation should also be given due attention based on the safety of visitors and sports and recreation enthusiasts in Sabah. This is because reports related to sports and recreational activity injuries are increasing day by day and they become recurring issues. Due to the large number of visitors and sports enthusiasts, the statistics of injury reports in sports and recreation have never decreased. In the meantime, this study aims to look at the procedures of the safety aspects that have been complied and followed throughout as well as the types of injuries. Methodology: A retrospective cross-sectional study of recreation in related injuries presented to the Sabah parks between 2018 till 2019. Data was extracted from the Sabah parks database and annual reports such as Demographics and injuries management details were extracted. Data were recorded and analysed using SPSS software. Results: A total of 321 patients were identified among those who had suffered injuries over the past 3 years. In 2017 the highest injury case was caused by jelly fish which was 20.8%, coral accident was 15.2% and falls while hiking and tracking was 13.6%. While in 2018 there were 24.3% cases where the injuries and the cause of injuries couldn't be detected. Sprained cases were 23.4%, and 17.76% cases of slip and fall while doing activities. In 2019, 29.41% cases reported were caused by sprained injuries, followed by acute mountain sickness AMS, 21.17% cases and 15.29 sprained injuries reported. Conclusion: Even though most of these injuries are not critical, most afflicted individuals seek medical care from the emergency unit, leading to excessive crowding and inappropriate use of the health care system. This shows the lack of self -risk management and the need to overcome this problem with a self-risk management module.
