What defines a Class D Mishap?

A Class D Mishap is specifically defined by the amount of damage inflicted, which falls within a particular monetary range. In this case, the classification pertains to damage that is between $25,000 and $60,000. This definition aligns with military and aviation safety standards, which categorize mishaps based on financial impact to facilitate risk management and resource allocation.

The other options focus on different criteria: one mentions trivial injuries that only require basic first aid, which would not qualify as a significant mishap. Another option specifies a much higher financial threshold, indicating a severe misclassification. Finally, the last choice refers to a specific type of injury — permanent total disability — that although serious, does not pertain to the financial damage metrics used to define a Class D Mishap. Thus, the correct understanding of this classification is rooted in the specified monetary range.
