This is the first published case series of patients with injuries from watercraft propellers and jet skis. Five patients presented to the level-one trauma centre of Western Australia with such injuries over 10 days during the 2010-2011 Christmas holidays; all required surgery, and all but one sustained multiple, severe injuries.
