Thanks, you actually hit the point I was about to inquire about. It
actually sounds like it is since there was an injury that required more
than minor treatment.

No, the requirements for reporting aviation accidents and incidents to the
NTSB are set forth in Title 49, Chapter VIII, part 830
(http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/w.../49cfr830.html). First of all,
only injuries incurred on board an aircraft are reportable. Second, a
dislocated shoulder, even if it is caused by a plane crash, is not a serious
enough injury to make the event reportable (unless it causes "severe" nerve,
muscle, or tendon damange, or requires hospitalization for more than 48
hours).
