Evaluation Of The Head Injury Hazard During Military Parachuting

Addresses the problem of a large increase in the incidence of head injury during Army airborne training and airborne operations (ATAO). A number of factors are known to contribute to these head injuries, including the small amount of impact protection provided by the PASGT helmet, shortcomings in training procedures, and failure of trained airborne troops to follow proper procedures when jumping. With little modification, the impact protection of the airborne helmet can be significantly improved. Evaluates a number of factors present in ATAO that contribute to head injury and explains how training and operational procedures can be modified to reduce the incidence of serious head injuries.Paschal, Charles R., Jr. is the author of 'Evaluation Of The Head Injury Hazard During Military Parachuting', published 1990 under ISBN 9780756721572 and ISBN 0756721571.
