Injuries in children sustained in free falls: an analysis of 66 cases.

M D Smith, J D Burrington, A D Woolf.   

Abstract

Sixty-six children who fell distances up to 96 feet were studied to determine the frequency and patterns of injuries sustained. Upper extremity, skull, and femoral fractures were most common; there was only one pelvic fracture and one os calcis fracture. Two of the children died, and 64 children returned to normal activities.
