Abstract

Three fatal accidents suffered by men at construction sites are reported. The victims fell from a considerable height onto metal construction rods and died from impalement injuries. The particular features of wound morphology are discussed. The influence of alcohol and medicines is also considered as a contributory cause of the falls.
