V96.9: Unspecified nonpowered-aircraft accident injuring occupant

An unspecified nonpowered-aircraft accident injuring occupant refers to any occurrence in which the person inside a nonpowered aircraft, such as a glider, balloon, or paraglider, experiences physical harm as a result of an accident. This type of incident is unspecified, meaning it may encompass a wide range of potential scenarios, including those involving turbulence, mechanical mishaps, or collision with objects. The injuries incurred could be various and range from minor injuries like bruises and sprains to major injuries like fractures, head trauma, or internal injuries. The nature and severity of the injuries are heavily influenced by the specifics of the accident and initial emergency response at the scene. Despite its specificity, this condition is primarily focused on the scenario of the accident rather than the injury itself and does not provide detailed information about the occupant’s precise medical condition.
