“…The force experienced by the victim during the accident was investigated in terms of external injuries and accident circumstances. 12 The vertebral bodies were sawn longitudinally at two opposite sides to open the spinal canal. Following removal of the spinal cords, they were fixed in 10% buffered formalin for one week.…”

“…W sądowo-lekarskiej ocenie okoliczności zdarzenia należy pamiętać, że poza wysokością upadku i rodzajem podłoża, na które spada ofiara, charakter i roz-clude initial and final body position, defensive reactions and muscular tension (which depends on the victim's state of mind), fall trajectory, as well as the victim's age, weight and individually variable properties of bodily tissues [2,7,[17][18][19][20]. Therefore, it is necessary to continue research on a larger group of cases in order to search for new biomechanical markers that will make it easier to differentiate the circumstances of falls and the estimation of the fall height.…”

“…ległość obrażeń ciała (a tym samym szanse przeżycia) zależą także od pozycji ciała w momencie zapoczątko-wania lotu oraz w momencie kontaktu z podłożem, reakcji obronnych i napięcia mięśniowego (zależnych od stanu świadomości), przebiegu lotu, a także od wieku, masy ciała oraz osobniczo zmiennych właściwości tkanek ciała ofiary [2,7,[17][18][19][20]. Konieczne jest kontynuowanie badań na większej grupie przypadków w celu poszukiwania nowych markerów biomechanicznych, które ułatwią różnicowanie okoliczności upadków z wysokości oraz ocenę wysokości upadku.…”

“…According to Gupta et al 2 injury patterns of persons who die after a fall from a height can be variable. The fall related injuries can be caused by direct impact resulting in severe injuries of the impacted body region or by indirect force leading to injuries in a body region distant from the impact.…”
