Description
Daniel Sanz-Blanco and Vicente Clemente-Suárez study injuries in military parachutists in a 2026 survey. Jumps mix hard landings, heavy kit, and, at night, poor sight. The team asked whether night jumps with kit, or a high jump count, linked to muscle and joint problems in the past year.
The survey covered 105 parachutists in a Spanish brigade. Nearly half reported at least one problem, most often at the knee or back. Problems were far more common in those who had done night jumps with kit than in those who had not. Jump count alone showed no link. Since all data came from one point in time, cause cannot be proven.
