V95.3: Accident to commercial fixed-wing aircraft, injuring occupant
The term "Accident to commercial fixed-wing aircraft, injuring occupant" refers to an incident where the occupant of a commercial airplane is injured due to an accident. These accidents can occur in various situations such as during take-off, in-flight, or landing. Injuries resulting from such instances can vary in nature, ranging from minor abrasions or bruises to severe trauma, depending on the nature of the accident. These injuries may affect any part of the body, such as head, limbs, torso, depending on the force and direction of impact. The progression and severity of the condition can also depend on several factors including the speed of the aircraft, the height from which a fall occurred, and the individual's health condition at the time of the accident. It is a situation-specific occurrence and does not stem from a disease or pathological condition.
