Right on Wandering. Thanks for your important comments on the subject of safety.
I did professional safety work for most of my life. I object to the latest Accident Reports by the AAC that say they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. They say that, for example about rockfall. Were they wearing helmets? Did they stand under a climber above? Did they make the decision to climb in spite of loose rock in the area? You are right, a series of decisions and suddenly you have a situation. There is usually a fundamental (proximate) cause of the accident, but most often a couple of factors combine to overwhelm our ability to recover.
