Abstract | Of 128 outdoor education related deaths examined since 1960, 14 have been due to falling trees or branches. This article examines the grounds on which death or serious injury due to falling trees or branches can be regarded as an inherent risk in outdoor education, and the extent to which such incidents can be regarded as preventable. It compares alternative approaches to prevention, and draws conclusions about how best to reduce the risk in the future. (As Provided). |
