Traumatic Injury Patterns Associated With Static Line Parachuting

Abstract: The rate of injury for each area of the body is within previously reported rates, with lower extremity injuries making up the largest category and leading to the majority of admissions. The most common time to sustain an injury was during landing, which represented a majority of both emergency room visits and hospitalizations.

“…When the two injuries evaluated together, similar to this study, the rate of foot and ankle injury is most common. Similarly to our study, in a retrospective study by Ball et al, which examined injuries due to static parachute jumps, the lower extremity was the most frequently injured body region [23].…”

“…Since the patients in our study did not perform night-time jumps, the injury rate of night-time jumps could not be calculated. In the literature, an incorrect landing technique was mentioned as the most common cause of injury [4,23]. Since the night jump was not performed in our study, the rate of injury in the night jump could not be calculated.…”

“…Similar factors have been reported to be effective in injuries, as well as high rates of injury during nighttime jumps (9). In the literature studies, the wrong landing technique was mentioned as the most common cause of injury (4,19). Similar to these studies, we think that the most common cause of injury is inappropriate landing technique.…”

“…In the event of a correct landing procedure, the jumper's musculoskeletal structure is slightly loaded, proportionally to a jump from a height of 1 meter but with a greater falling speed. Conditions increasing the risk of injury while touching-down are: incorrect position in relation to wind direction (the correct position is facing the wind), dangerous drop-zone, incorrect estimation of altitude and speed, recklessness, and erroneous assessment of atmospheric conditions [8,9].…”
