abstract="Lethal accidents with tourists who died of trauma in high mountains of Kabardino-Balkaria were retrospectively studied for the period from 1978 to 2003. The victims were 163 males and 17 females aged 14-72 years. Among causes of death most prevalent was a step-by-step blunt mechanical trauma as a result of falling from a great height. In such conditions the body obtains great kinetic energy causing a severe, often lethal, craniocerebral injury with destruction of the brain, blunt injury of the chest, thoracic and other organs.<p /> <p>Language: ru</p>",
