%X The pattern of injuries caused when a helicopter crashed after an uncontrolled descent of approximately 15 m is described. Eleven patients were admitted to hospital for further treatment and observation, and 7 were treated in the Accident and Emergency Department. One-third of the victims sustained injuries to the dorsolumbar spine. Some conditions which could improve flight safety are discussed.
