As illustrative of the numerous fractures a person may sustain at one time, the London Medical Gazette mentions an injury to a girl of fourteen, which resulted in 31 fractures.
Remarkable Falls .-- In this connection it is of interest to note from how great a height a person may fall without sustaining serious injury.
A remarkable fall of a miner down 100 meters of shaft (about 333 feet) without being killed is recorded by M.

Reumeaux in the Bulletin de l'Industrie Minerale.

Working with his brother in a gallery which issued on the shaft, he forgot the direction in which he was pushing a truck; so it went over, and he after it, falling into some mud with about three inches of water.

As stated in Nature, he seems neither to have struck any of the wood debris, nor the sides of the shaft, and he showed no contusions when he was helped out by his brother after about ten minutes.

He could not, however, recall any of his impressions during the fall.
