The image intensifiers in these systems provide fluoroscopic and digital spot images. These components may become detached if the systems encounter large impact forces when moved. If the image intensifier detaches and falls, it could strike nearby personnel and cause injuries, potentially including fractures, hematomas, contusions, bruises, or pain.
