Urine samples from 402 victims of ski accidents were analyzed for the presence of alcohol and benzodiazepines. In a second stage of the investigation, patients were asked to fill in a questionnaire evaluating among other things the consumption of alcohol and the use of benzodiazepines during the last 24 hours before the accident. 81 (20.1%) samples were found to be positive for alcohol, in 34 cases (8.5%) benzodiazepines were detected by urinalysis. 10 samples were positive for both alcohol and benzodiazepines. Subjects positive for alcohol and benzodiazepines presented with significantly more severe injuries than the negative controls. Native accident victims were significantly less frequently positive for alcohol than were subjects from foreign countries. Accidents most commonly occurred early in the afternoon, the positive urine samples, however, were evenly distributed over the whole day. The questionnaire was answered and returned by 76.6% of the study population. 80% of the patients with urine samples positive for alcohol reported having consumed alcohol before the accident, whereas none of those who had been positive for benzodiazepines admitted having ingested tranquilizers.
