Thanks. I edited it.Quote:
Steve didn't fall. He went into a narrow place voluntarily and then could not get out, easily.
Here is the report on Leprechaun I was referring to.

Does anyone else think this thread could do with a slightly less macabre title?
How about "canyoneering accidents and fatalities"
I dunno
Yeah... I thought the title sucked. I like the suggested title.
I akso think it would be nice to include ALL canyon accidents. Even the one's Bob has deemed unworthy. If you are going to create an accident database you might as well do it right and get them all so the database is complete.

The fall in Middle Leprechaun is detailed on Climb-Utah and should be included.

Very interesting thread. Thanks for putting it together.
Bwahahah! Love the new title!
The title sucks? Meh. :roll:
I bet you guys remember it. 10,000 hits from now, I bet it is easy to Google too. :cool2: I'll nice it down for now, just to mock you. :bootyshake: :lol8: (friendly mocking, of course)
Watered down beer and watered down references suck. I'm NOT diluting this puppy down with a bunch of 'broken ankle in The Narrows' stories that bore people into changing the channel back to YouPorn. :naughty:
Studying automobile deaths is macabre too- but it is still important information to sift through and study. Much can be learned from the worst of the worst; which is the gist of this thread.

Thanks everyone for your contributions! :gents:
FWIW, I'm still sifting through stories. If yours hasn't been added there is a chance it hasn't been read yet.
Dear Reader: This thread is about death, and the possibility of death. Please do not read this thread if you are not comfortable with the word 'death' or the concept thereof. If you would like to start a thread that discusses sprained ankles, helicopter rides, albinos, or hemophiliacs... feel free. There is room for everyone on the Bogley playground. If you don't like how this thread is organized then you, Dear Reader, are under no obligation to read it or contribute to it.
On with business. :mrgreen:
Looks like the title took another dump...
Edit: deleted for douchey content
Apparently, I'm not allowed to use "The Albino Hemophiliacs that Stubbed Their Toe Thread" as the titile, since it was changed to some unmemorable, unsearchable, useless title yesterday (by somebody with GREAT powers). So, I just changed it back to the original.
I would like people to be able to quickly find this thread in the future, thus the memorable and succinct name.
I'm not ignoring your opinion, I DO hear you loud and clear Bootboy:

Dave Nally is about finished and ready to print "Death in Zion", a book very well researched about deaths and unique accidents within Zion dating back to known history. Hopefully the book might be helpful?
Bob,
A friend of mine, Dave Nally has been working very hard on completing his book "Death in Zion". It will also include various rescues within. The book Dave decided to write is stimulated by another book "Over The Edge, Death In Grand Canyon". I know that Dave has put a LOT of time and effort into the research and writing of this book, and I'm sure It'll give some answers for accidents that have happened in Zion. I personally am not at liberty to discuss deaths, accidents and rescues, but Zion Park has been very gracious and forthcoming with information details for Dave.
Cheers!
Bo
Fascinating. I just ordered Over The Edge, Death in Grand Canyon, and I'll pick up a copy of Death in Zion when it is published. Thanks for the info.
Curious, why are you not at liberty to discuss accidents and rescues? HIPAA? Potential lawsuits?
Bob
