滑水运动损伤的流行病学

West J Med. 1979 Jun;130(6):493-7.

Coast Guard statistics indicate a national boating fatality rate of 9.6 deaths per 100,000 crafts. In 1977 in California, five fatalities and 70 serious injuries were directly attributable to waterskiing. The four cases reported here include three patients with propeller injuries, including one nearly fatal amputation. In each case basic measures for boating safety were overlooked.

海岸警卫队的统计数据显示，全国每10万艘船只的划船死亡率为9.6人。1977年在加利福尼亚州，有5人死亡和70人受重伤直接归因于滑水运动。这里报告的4起案例包括3名螺旋桨受伤患者，其中1人险些因截肢丧命。在每起案例中，划船安全的基本措施都被忽视了。
