These are: (1) to document the frequency and demographic characteristics of such accidents; and (2) to prepare a multidisciplinary technical report describing the frequency and demographic aspects of such accidents, as well as providing relevant medical, biomechanical, sedimentological, managerial and legal perspectives.
