Characteristics of injuries caused by paragliding accidents: A cross-sectional study.
BACKGROUND This study was undertaken to analyze the characteristics and risk factors relating to fatalities and injuries caused by paragliding. METHODS The judicial examination reports and hospital documents of 82 patients traumatized in 64 accidents during 242 355 paragliding jumps between August 2004 and September 2011 were analyzed. RESULTS In these accidents, 18 of the 82 patients lost ...
متن کاملAccidents and injuries related to powered paragliding: a cross-sectional study
OBJECTIVES Powered paragliding (PPG) and paragliding are two totally different sports, mainly because of the use of an engine in powered paragliding. As a consequence, the pattern of injuries caused by each of these two sports may be different. SETTING To test this hypothesis, we analysed 384 incident reports gathered by the US Powered Paragliding Association from 1995 to 2012. The majority o...
متن کاملCervical artificial disc extrusion after a paragliding accident
BACKGROUND Cervical total disc replacement (TDR) is an established alternative to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with excellent long-term outcomes and low failure rates. Cases of implant failure and migration are scarce and primarily limited to several years postoperatively. The authors report a case of anterior extrusion of a C4-C5 ProDisc-C (DePuy Synthes, West Chester, PA, US...
متن کاملInjury, hospitalization, and operation rates are low in aerial sports

This study aimed to evaluate the rate and severity of injuries to ASI patients presented to our Emergency Department (ED). MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was held at a university medical center. The patients who were presented or transferred to the ED in a fou...
متن کاملA Polymer Optical Fiber Fuel Level Sensor: Application to Paramotoring and Powered Paragliding
A low-cost intensity-based polymer optical fiber (POF) sensor for fuel level measurements in paramotoring and powered paragliding is presented, exploiting the advantages of the optical fiber sensing technology. Experimental results demonstrate that the best option can be performed by stripping the fiber at the desired discrete points to measure the fuel level as well as with a gauge-shape fiber...
