To determine the frequency and severity of accidents in a population of BASE jumpers (people who jump with parachute from a fixed object such as from a cliff).
To determine the frequency and characteristics of BASE jumping accidents, a cross-sectional survey of experienced BASE jumpers was completed.
35 BASE jumpers enrolled in the study. Findings revealed that there were approximately 9914 jumps made and the estimated rate of injury was 0.4%. 39 accidents involving 21 (60%) BASE jumpers were found. 28 accidents (72%) predominantly involved the lower limbs, 12 (31%) involved the back/spine, 7 (18%) the upper limbs, and 1 (3%) was a head injury.
BASE jumping is associated with a high risk of serious injury and appears to be significantly more dangerous than skydiving.
确定定点跳伞者(从悬崖等固定物体上跳伞的人)群体中事故发生的频率和严重程度。
为确定定点跳伞事故的频率和特征,对有经验的定点跳伞者进行了一项横断面调查。
35名定点跳伞者参与了该研究。结果显示,共进行了约9914次跳伞,估计受伤率为0.4%。发现39起事故涉及21名(60%)定点跳伞者。28起事故(72%)主要涉及下肢,12起(31%)涉及背部/脊柱,7起(18%)涉及上肢,1起(3%)为头部受伤。
定点跳伞与严重受伤的高风险相关,且似乎比跳伞危险得多。
