Slave Fetisov suffered chest injuries as well as a bruised lung, but made a full recovery. Team massage therapist Sergei Mnatsakanov was not expected to survive, but did, although he was permanently paralyzed from the waist down. Vladimir Konstantinov also suffered severe injuries and was placed on a ventilator.[10] He was released from Beaumont five months later.[11]
