  • Title: [Injuries and traumatic fatalities in sports with special reference to criminal responsibility].
    Author: Klös G, Weiler G.
    Journal: Beitr Gerichtl Med; 1989; 47():337-9. PubMed ID: 2818500.
    Abstract:
    Out of 13 deaths connected with sport, seven were due to a natural death (coronary death) and six were of traumatic origin (cranial and spinal injuries predominated). On the basis of such cases of sport death and expertise on sport injuries with regard to their etiology, the appraisal of sport accidents with regard to legal liability is described. Questions of liability apply both to the institutions responsible for sporting facilities in injuries indirectly connected with sport as well as fellow sportsmen/women as causers of accidents.
