Yeah but it wasn't my conclusion. It was the authors' conclusion. I literally just copy pasted their conclusion.
Are you saying you disagree with their conclusion? Or that their conclusion is wrong? Or that the conclusion is incongruent with their findings?
Dude, there are 4 paragraphs in that abstract. Read them all!! Not just the conclusion!
It is easy to imagine that they are trying to put something flashy in their conclusion so people talk about it. Everyone knows that low-skill is linked to falling (and a bunch of other more important factors). They can't talk about that because it is not a new conclusion. They have to talk about something else to be published in a research journal.
Again, I haven't read the paper because it is not accessible. It is important to read the full paper for these kinds of studies because they make so many assumptions for their results to be valid. What seems clear from their previous papers on falling is that they are commenting on one of the least important factors. Yes, they might have shown that some factors related to equipment are significant, but these factors might still remain amongst the least important factors to think about if you want to prevent an injury...
