Learning from Accident Analysis: The Dynamics Leading Up to a Rafting Accident.

Hovelynck, Johan

Journal of Experiential Education, v21 n2 p86-95 Sep-Oct 1998

Analysis of a case study of a whitewater rafting accident reveals that such accidents tend to result from multiple actions. Many events leading up to such accidents include procedural and process factors, suggesting that hard-skills technical training is an insufficient approach to accident prevention. Contains 26 references. (SAS)
