V95: Accident to powered aircraft causing injury to occupant
Accidents to powered aircraft causing injury to occupant refer to a group of injuries that an individual may sustain as a result of an accident involving an airplane, helicopter, or other types of powered aircraft. The injuries in this category are diverse, depending on the nature and severity of the accident. They may range from minor fractures or cuts to significant, life-threatening traumas such as head injuries or internal organ damage. The onset of symptoms will depend on the specific injury but can include pain, confusion, difficulty breathing, and visible signs of injury like bruising or wounds. Such accidents typically involve a rapid sequence of events that can lead to instant or delayed injury. It is also important to note that psychological trauma can be an associated aspect following such dramatic incidents. The whole body can be involved, with the nervous, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and digestive systems among the most commonly affected.
