The injuries caused by high falls from over the seventh floor are considered mostly fatal. It is possible to survive the high fall from over 30 metres at landing on the surface of high deformity (snow or water). The Injury Severity Score (ISS) due to a high fall is influenced by the height from which the body has fallen, then, the body and surface features, and finally, the manner of body impact on to the surface. ⋯ This determination, approximate one, was possible only in falls on to a solid surface up to 30 metres. The same determination was not possible by the analysis of the time of survival. It is obvious that determining the height of fall is more possible by types and combinations of single injuries which are, single or combined with other injuries, characteristic for single mechanisms of primary body contact with the solid surface depending on the height of fall.

Many epidemiological and clinical studies have demonstrated an increased risk for the symptoms of respiratory disorders consistent with chronic bronchitis and asthma and alterations of pulmonary function tests in pig farmers. ⋯ In contrast to other world studies, our study comprised an important number of women farmers, but alterations associated to sex were not found. To assess the lung function in these pig farmers after several years may be of great importance.
