abstract="Parasailing is a new sport resulting in an increasing number of severe injuries. The analysis of 152 accidents reveals typical trauma mechanisms for the different flight positions. 87 patients (57%) had their crash during the landing approach. 68 pilots (45%) were affected during their primary training course. Spine lesions were found in 30 patients. Lower limb injuries occurred in 44 cases. Detailed trauma evaluation can give a clue for systematic prophylaxis.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
