Outcomes of 36 accidents with 37 aircrafts (one mid-air collision) in the period of 2003-2010 have been analyzed. Of 71 ejected crew members 14 pilots died (19.7%), 26 pilots (36.6%) suffered injuries of varying severity and 31 pilots (43.7%) escaped noticeable injuries. The major causes of the deaths were late emergency escape and failure of the eject mechanism (EM). The majority of harmed pilots (n = 18, 69.2%) had slight injuries; one crew member (3.9%) was injured moderately and 7 pilots (26.9%), substantively. Most of the injuries occurred on parachute landing (40.3%). The main reasons for severe injury were parachute landing impact (69.2%) and EM failure (23.1%). Commonly injuries were caused to the head and neck (30.7%) and a bit less often to the lower and upper extremities (22.6 and 19.4% respectively). 14.5% of the injuries were brought to the body and 11.3%--to the back. Severe injuries included fractures of the spine (42.9%) and lower and upper extremities (42.9 and 14.2% respectively). |
