>Think of all the stories of people failing to tie knots properly, ripping gear, hitting the ground, getting way out of their depth on routes, needing rescue for easily avoidable situations. What they suggest is that we are far closer to having more bad accidents in climbing than we like to think we are. It's the classic oh&s accident triangle. At the base, there's heaps of small oversights and lazy corner cutting all the time. Maybe 25% lead to a dangerous situation. 25% of the dangerous situations result in near misses. And 25% of the near misses turn into accidents, the tip of the triangle. I made up the numbers but you get the idea.
