(viewed Sept. 8, 2006).Performed by FAA Civil Medical Aerospace Institute."October 2005.""DOT/FAA/AM-05/17."Includes bibliographical references.This study analyzes the frequency of rotorcraft accidents involving fatalities and injuries to determine if certain types of accidents are inherently more dangerous in relation to rapid evacuation capability. Four categories of accidents were analyzed: those involving a fire, those without a fire, those in which the rotorcraft rolled over, and those without a rollover. It was hypothesized that rollover accidents create evacuation delays that produce more fatalities, particularly in situations involving a rollover and post-crash fire, where evacuation delays may expose occupants to toxic fumes longer than they would be if the rotorcraft remained upright and the evacuation only required occupants to quickly step out of the rotorcraft.Fatality and injury rates for two types of rotorcraft accidents Accidents, AviationmortalityAircraftData Interpretation, StatisticalWounds and InjuriesmortalityHelicoptersAccidentsInvestigationAircraft accidentsResearchAccidents, Aviationmortality.Aircraft.Data Interpretation, Statistical.Wounds and Injuriesmortality.HelicoptersAccidentsInvestigation.Aircraft accidentsResearch.Palmerton David1382946United States.Office of Aerospace Medicine.Civil Aerospace Medical Institute.NLMNLMGPOBOOK9910694623603321Fatality and injury rates for two types of rotorcraft accidents3427156UNINA
