A frequent cause of death in naval aviators is hypothesized as drowning, associated with 'acceleration concussion' perhaps due to neck stretch. Present autopsy procedures on aviation accident fatalities could be improved in order to investigate this hypothesis. Aircraft accident fatality data for the U.S. Navy are presented as a measure of the population at risk and recent data from the literature which might explain the causative mechanism of acceleration concussion is presented. Recommendations for improved standard autopsy protocols for aircraft accident fatalities are presented. (Author)
