Dead Man Walking: SAR in National Parks

Post by Canyonram »

Good summary article on SAR in the National Parks including Grand Canyon.

http://download.journals.elsevierhealth ... 701280.pdf

Authors conclusions: "Without the presence of NPS personnel responding to SAR incidents, 1 in 5 (20%) of
those requesting SAR assistance would be a fatality. Future research and the development of any
prevention efforts should focus on the 5 NPS units where 50% of all SAR incidents are occurring."
"I shot a werewolf once. But by the time I went to retrieve it, it changed into my neighbor's dog." D. Schruete
