摘要
Surveillance for parachute-related injuries was conducted at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, between May 1993 and December 1994, During this 20-month period, lower-extremity injuries (27% of all injuries), axial skeletal (back and neck) strains and sprains (19.3%), and closed head injuries (18.4%) were the leading causes of injury, The incidence of injuries requiring emergency care was 8/1,000 jumps, This rate is well within the jump injury planning estimate, suggesting that airborne training and operations are conducted in a safe and effective manner at Fort Bragg.
