| According to the Survival Factors Group Chairman’s report, the pilot sustained “…traumatic chest injuries.” This report continues by saying, “The [Medical Examiner’s] report stated that the pilot’s injuries resulted from the pilot’s chest contacting the control yoke of the airplane. Evidence of the pilot’s seatbelt usage was documented in the [Medical Examiner’s] report as follows: Contusions were present over both iliac crests, and a poorly-defined somewhat band like injury to the anterior aspect of the left upper arm was present.” The Group Chairman’s report continues, “The autopsy report did not document any injuries to the pilot’s left clavicle nor any patterned abrasion of the left shoulder.” |
