The following table is the result of a search through all the reports for key words relating to types of injury or medical conditions. For example, the category Lacerations will include any word with 'lacerat-', 'cut-' and 'gash-' as part of the word or phrase.
Please note that the totals of these columns do not match the number of casualties given at the bottom of each column. Unfortunately many of the casualties sustain more than one injury as a result of their accident. A typical report will illustrate this:-
"Fracture/dislocation of the ankle, cuts to hands and knee"
This will result in contributions to the fracture, dislocation and laceration categories.
