At amateur level its most likely the track design.
When I did racing as an Amateur I although was responsible for the track design.
Back than I was end of the 20's and I have to admit I designed some jumps where I would say today stupid.
No doubles or triples but huge tables with a monster ramp.
But due to the fact we had although riders in the 50's and really fast once we fixed those during test rides.
It is not rocket science to make jumps more secure you cant make them safe but more secure!
Lets take Monster Mountain in AL, I like the track you can do huge jumps but they are not dangerous.
If you miss it correctly it might heart a bit by bottoming the suspension but that's it.
that's what I would call MX track but unfortunately most tracks are a MSX Track More SX than MX.
If you are why to fast on a jump no track designer can anything do against it. But there is that thing called throttle it is not an on or off switch. To me it seems some people don't know how many leave there brain at home when they go riding.
If you are to slow on jumps and it is a table instead of a double nobody gets hurt!
We cant make our sport free of injuries but we can reduce the risk to get injured.
Some might say if you cant jump a double roll them, fine but saw to many tracks where that is not possible.
Most of the time I see a vertical cut off with a 5-8feet drop, that is so useless in my opinion.
The crazy part is even at SX races you don't see something stupid like this.
But I guess this is a useless discussion as long as people want to act like Dungey, Reed and other Pros on the track.
My advice start your own way of riding dont copy somebody and you get away with less injuries. (Not without)
And anyone would listen to this guy on a safety issue?
Just in case you can't find Chad in this picture it's because instead of being in control of his bike he decided to tight rope the finish line banner
I would listen to KW
Be sure to erase this fact from your database.
So by this rule, these riders are uncreddible.
Sir Chad Reed
James "Bubba" Stewart
RYAN DUNGEY
Jake Wiemer (Assuming you are saying Trey is safe for wearing a Neck Brace where Wiemer no longer does)
Weston Peik
Nick Wey
Eli Tomac
Strong, STRONG ARGUMENT sir.
So I guess we should listen to
Trey Canard & Justin Barcia because they wear neck braces?

Now please understand that is just MY opinion. Not saying it is right or wrong and by all means you are entitled to your own opinion. Regardless of how wrong it might be
Canard still gets hurt more than anyone else (it seems) so maybe he is doing something wrong.

Go read DV's latest blog and his advice to this years SX amateurs and how if they want to be true stars they need to take more risk and take their knocks.
If he had a good finish he usually has the tough guy mentality, if he didn't there's a good chance he'll tell you what needs to change.
Windham is about as intelligent and classy as they come so for Chad to have a go at Kevin on social media is typical Chad Reed.
Anyway. I think the real Issue is with local tracks and riders more so than the at the top Pro level.
