About this title

Synopsis

Whereas Lessons Learned I provided a theoretical look at risk management in the outdoor industry, Lessons Learned II applies the theories to real life.

Through careful examination of accident accounts, followed by analysis of what went wrong and what went right, author/editor Deb Ajango helps readers better understand how and why even seemingly best-laid plans sometimes fail. Starting with two in-depth case studies, the book explores how accidents happen, how the resulting devastation affects participants and their families, and how the ramifications of such incidents affect programs and employees
