Breakdancing, officially recognized at the Olympics, poses injury risks, particularly to the scalp, exemplified by the so-called 'headspin hole' condition affecting hardcore practitioners.
A 2009 German study found 60.4% of breakdancers faced overuse injuries to the scalp from headspins, with significant hair loss, bumps, and inflammation reported.
Copenhagen doctors document a case study of a male breakdancer whose chronic scalp injury required surgical intervention due to years of practicing headspins.
The breakdancer, who practiced intensively for 19 years, experienced growing scalp tenderness along with increased bump size from repeated headspin maneuvers.
