OK - I had to confirm the water-skis. You're not kidding: https://www.cms.gov/medicare-coverage-database/staticpages/icd-10-code-lookup.aspx?KeyWord=V91.07XD

I don't blame you, I should have tried that myself. I'm still trying to figure out how that could be a legit code. Jet skis, of course. But ... ah, while trying to see if anyone else had a brainstorm, I found a better one that eliminates a lot of possibilities: V90.27XA: Drowning and submersion due to falling or jumping from burning water-skis, initial encounter Got that from http://skepticalscalpel.blogspot.com/2011/09/icd-10-codes-drowning-and-submersion.html http://skepticalscalpel.blogspot.com/2011/09/icd-10-codes-dr..., which suggests: I have come up with an answer. Someone, possibly an actor from the Jackass series of movies, sets up his water skis on milk crates in the back yard. The skis are positioned over a kiddie pool. He mounts the water skis while an accomplice sprays them with gasoline. The skis are lit, and the man jumps or falls from the burning skis, submerging and drowning himself in the process. Luckily there is an ICD-10 code for that. Maybe we're being trolled? You know, there are trolling motors, but they're (all?) slow, battery powered ones to avoid disturbing fish, not at all suitable for water skiing.

  When I paid accident claims, I paid a surprising number of claims for 2nd degree burn on lower leg from motorcycle exhaust pipe. You make me wonder if there is a code specifically for that. /weird but true

    Looks like it's just the burn code: http://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/S00-T88/T20-T25/T24/T24.2-/T24.232A http://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/S00-T88/T20-T25/T24/T...

      The funny thing is that we have ultra specific water ski codes, yet can't find a more specific one for "burn by motorcycle"
