The methods employed included the collection of information regarding incidents and accidents reported by canyoning practitioners. The most frequently associated activities for these events were identified as well as the body parts most affected by injuries. Additionally, an examination of the causes that posed a higher risk of accidents and injuries was conducted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our results revealed that 21% of participants were beginners, among whom 23% were involved in accidents and 16% in incidents. In contrast, 79% of participants were experienced, with 84% involved in incidents and 78% in accidents. Additionally, 32% of accidents occurred during jumping progression, and 28% occurred while walking. Rope progression was the third most frequently associated activity with accidents, accounting for 24% of cases. Regarding incidents, rope progression was the most common activity, representing 49%, followed by water progression at 22%. Lower limb injuries were the most prevalent, particularly 25% affecting the tibia\/fibula and 24% the ankles.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The main causes of accidents were jumping and walking progression, with rope progression being the most common in incidents.
