N2  - This paper examines the injury patterns seen in both survivors and nonsurvivors of a UH-60 in-flight collision. The medical records were reviewed and injuries were recorded. Thirty-seven individuals sustained more than 150 different injuries. Deaths occurred secondary to massive internal injuries. Head injuries accounted for the majority of injuries seen in survivors. Forty-one other fractures and 15 major organ injuries were recorded. Injury patterns that occurred secondary to inflight UH-60 collisions closely resemble those seen in vertical falls. Military health care providers should be familiar with these types of injury patterns.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
