TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Accidents in delta sailing JO - Schweizerische Zeitschrift fur Sportmedizin A1 - Metzker, S. A1 - Biener, K. SP - 83 EP - 86 VL - 39 IS - 2 N2 - We interviewed a group of 259 deltasailors about their injuries which befell them in Switzerland during their sports activity. They reported on 257 incidents, 8% of which were contusions and 24% resulted in fractures. 70% of all injuries affected the arms or legs, whereas 30% were located on the head or trunk. An accident occurred far more often during the landing phase (72%) than at take-off (28%). The mean hospital stay was noticeably longer for injured women (15 days) than for men (8 days).
