crossing the runway.
Signs were placed at the entrance to flight line
areas, indicating the types of vehicles authorized and the speed limits.
A directive was published by the 951st, outlining vehicle operations on
the airfield.
Sports injuries accounted for 60% of the minor injuries reported
during the operation, most of which occurred while participating in
swimming, softball or volleyball.
The majority of these injuries were
as a direct result of falis caused by over-exubcrance of players, overexertion and inexperience.
Due to the physical terrain in the swimming
and recreational areas, lacerations and abrasions were predominant.
The
seemingly high percentage of minor sports injuries does not reflect a
deficiency in the program, because a great amount of off-duty time is
spent in some type of sport.
The percentage actually reflects an excep~
tional record of treatment of minor injuries, preventing them from becoming
f
"lost time" cases.
