Twenty-six cases of waterskiing-related injuries, including four deaths, were studied and the case histories classified into four categories. Injury was caused by a fall into unobstructed water, by boat propeller blades, by collisions with obstacles or a boat, and by the tow rope. Injuries sustained in falls were comparable to trauma seen in vigorous contact sports. Boat propeller blades inflicted devastating battlefield-type wounds, and collisions produced trauma similar to that seen in motor vehicle accidents. The shearing action of an accelerating tow rope imparted trauma unique to this sporting activity. There is limited recognition of the potential for serious injury that attends this recreational sport, and it is concluded that the prevention of injury depends on the nuclear trio of participants: boat operator, operator, observer, and skier.
对26例与滑水相关的损伤病例进行了研究，其中包括4例死亡，并将病历分为四类。损伤是由跌入无障碍水域、船桨叶片、与障碍物或船只碰撞以及拖绳造成的。跌倒造成的损伤与剧烈接触性运动中的创伤相似。船桨叶片造成了毁灭性的战场型伤口，碰撞产生的创伤与机动车事故中的创伤相似。加速拖绳的剪切作用造成了这项体育活动特有的创伤。人们对这项休闲运动可能造成严重伤害的认识有限，得出的结论是，预防伤害取决于参与者的核心三人组：船只操作员、操作员、观察员和滑水者。
