Accidents involving cable cars not running on rails

This code signifies an external cause of injury resulting from an accident involving a cable car that is not operating on a track system. This includes aerial tramways, gondolas, and other similar conveyances where the car is suspended by cables rather than running on rails. The injury itself would be coded separately.

This code is used when documentation clearly indicates an injury occurred due to an incident involving a cable car that operates without rails, such as a fall from, collision with, or mechanical failure of such a system. The medical record should specify the type of cable car and the nature of the accident.

• Always assign an additional code for the nature of the injury sustained.
• Distinguish carefully from accidents involving streetcars or other rail-based conveyances.
• Ensure documentation specifies "cable car" and "not running on rails" to differentiate from other transport accidents.
