Abstract

A 27-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of profuse vaginal bleeding from a vaginal laceration caused by the impact of water to the perineum after sliding down a water chute. At the time of the accident the patient was using a vaginal tampon. The potential mechanism for this trauma is discussed.
