V95.0: Helicopter accident injuring occupant
A helicopter accident injuring occupant refers to a type of physical trauma sustained as a result of an accident involving a helicopter. This can include a wide range of injuries, from minor cuts and bruises to severe injuries involving internal organs, the brain, or the spinal cord. The nature of the injuries is often influenced by factors such as the severity of the crash, the position of the occupant in the helicopter, and whether safety equipment was used correctly. Symptoms can vary widely and might include pain, bleeding, loss of consciousness, difficulties with movement, or other disruptions to normal functioning depending on the specific injuries incurred. It is a traumatic event that may not only cause physical harm but could also lead to emotional distress or psychological conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
