Under 3% of recorded accidents are Detection accidents - where the victim initiates the device(s) while engaged in a formal detection procedure.
Accidents do not always happen during a single activity. For example, a missed-mine may be located while cutting vegetation, or a Detection accident may occur during a survey. All accidents with common features can be located by making a complex search using the database software. Unfortunately, it is only possible at this time to put the data on line - not the database software itself.
The list below are *.PDF files of the Detection accident records held in the DDAS. Click on the record to open it in Adobe Reader. The later records tend to be the better detailed. Records marked with an * are larger, so more detailed or containing more pictures. Double or triple * indicates unusually large records.
