This paper is a summary of a study of 72 cases of swimming-pool accidents resulting in serious injuries with the potential of permanent disability. Sixty-four of the 72 cases resulted in spinal cord injuries, 57 of which involved quadriplegic lesions. The authors observed that the majority of these injuries resulted from a lack of good judgement and common sense rather than from intoxication or pool structural deficiencies. Also of note was the lack of appropriate first-aid and extrication rendered, as well as the absence of uniform treatment and care received by the majority of the patients.
本文是一项针对72起游泳池事故的研究总结，这些事故均导致严重受伤并有可能造成永久性残疾。72起事故中有64起导致脊髓损伤，其中57起涉及四肢瘫痪损伤。作者观察到，这些损伤大多是由于缺乏良好的判断力和常识，而非中毒或泳池结构缺陷所致。同样值得注意的是，现场缺乏适当的急救和解救措施，并且大多数患者没有得到统一的治疗和护理。
