All injuries can be characterized from the perspective of an abnormal transfer of energy. For example, the catastrophic injuries arising from plane or automobile crashes can be characterized as injuries which arise from the transfer of energy between the victim and a stationary object (the ground) or a moving object (another vehicle), which lead to trauma and possibly death. Interference with normal energy exchange may also result in injuries through drowning and frostbite.
