A prospective study of parachute injuries in civilians

SC Amamilo, AW Samuel, KT Hesketh, and FJ Moynihan

A prospective study of 33 civilian parachutists with 41 injuries is presented. Because the training for civilians is less rigorous than that for military parachutists, the hospital admission rate for severe injuries was high (81.8%). Most injuries occurred during landing and the ankle was most frequently involved. The types and possible mechanisms of injury are discussed, as well as recommendations for modifying the civilian training programme.
