jerseyscum Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I've made some cursory checks and can't find any estimates of rock climbing fatalities per 100,000 climber days on Web. Any figures would be suspect, I suppose, and I'm not interested in including mountaineering accidents -- just cragging. For skiing, by way of comparison, I found something suggesting 1 fatality per 1.4 million skier days. I also found something on Wikipedia suggesting 50,000 annual climber days at Gunks. (Not sure about that, but it sounds somewhat plausible). That might suggest 1:150,000 or something around there, based on the last five years or so... This sounds rather high....Anybody know something more definite or care to speculate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
