Abstract

Wakeboarding is a sport associated with various types of injuries, primarily affecting the upper and lower limbs. In this case, a 44-year-old man fell from a ramp while wakeboarding and barely managed to reach the shore before dying shortly afterward. An autopsy revealed a complete rupture of the thoracic aorta along with a fracture of the fourth thoracic vertebra. It is likely that several mechanisms contributed to these injuries, either individually or in combination: concussive, rotational, and tensile forces. Additionally, it is plausible that the rupture occurred in two stages, with an initial partial injury worsening during subsequent movements or attempts at rescue and resuscitation. This is the first reported case of death resulting from a ruptured aorta due to wakeboarding, highlighting a potential consequence of this sport.
滑水事故后主动脉完全破裂。
滑水是一项与各种类型的伤害有关的运动,主要影响上肢和下肢。在本案中,一名 44 岁的男子在滑水时从斜坡上摔下,勉强爬上岸后不久便死亡。尸检显示胸主动脉完全断裂,第四节胸椎骨折。造成这些伤害的机制可能有几种,有的是单独造成的,有的是共同造成的:震荡力、旋转力和拉力。此外,破裂可能是分两个阶段发生的,最初的部分损伤在随后的运动或抢救和复苏过程中恶化。这是报告的首例因滑水导致主动脉破裂而死亡的病例,凸显了这项运动的潜在后果。
