Scalping is the eradication of the scalp from the skull, in most cases because of boat motors. Scalping is a widespread problem in the Amazon region, where this type of accident is common, because of the poor safety conditions of the typical boats used to travel and to work throughout the Amazon River, called Voadoras. Usual victims of these accidents in the Amazon are the ribeirinhos, rural people who live along the river and run on small boats to work and to get the city. A protection for the voadoras engine was designed and produced, in order to prevent these accidents, but a lot of ribeirinhos still don’t use them. ==Case Record== Accidents occur when the victims, approaching to the boat's engine to perform ordinary work, are drawn because of their long hair. The high speed motion of the motor rolls up the hair around it, pulling all or part of the scalp of the victims, along with ears, eyebrows and part of the skin. This type of accidents leads to serious deformations, whose recovery is long and painful, and, in some cases, to the death. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Escalpelamento」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
