V91.4: Accident to watercraft causing other injury : sailboat

The "Accident to watercraft causing other injury: sailboat" refers to injuries sustained during an accident involving a sailboat that do not directly relate to drowning or near-drowning incidents. These injuries can occur due to impact with the boat itself, totally unrelated to water immersion, or secondary to the boat's mechanical components, rigging, or sails. The manifestations of these injuries vary significantly depending on the nature and severity of the accident and the body part involved. They can include, but are not limited to, fractures, sprains, lacerations, bruises or even more serious conditions like internal organ damage or head injuries. It's worth noting that the term "other injury" means that injuries typically associated with watercraft accidents, such as those related to water immersion or hypothermia, are excluded from this category. The diagnosis of these injuries involves an assessment of the patient's physical condition, the history of the accident, and potentially diagnostic imaging like X-rays.
