Caving accident at Canteen Sinks Cave, Logan, UT
http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=13184420
Nothing crazy, in regards to accidents - but still a accident. It reminded me of when moab_mark in his recent TR to Undercover canyon was talking about anchors exploding. Here's an example.......although, who knows what the anchor was or how he tied it...
"According to Cache County sheriff's Lt. Chad Jensen, 30-year-old Benjamin Buhr was hiking in Canteen Sinks Cave, which is located about a quarter mile from the parking lot in the Sinks area of the canyon, with his sister Friday around 3:30.
Buhr's sister told deputies her brother was climbing a 10-foot wall when the rock his rope was tied to came loose and he fell. The rock landed on his chest and forearm."

Ive been to this cave quite a few times.. I know one of the rescuers who pulled him out. We think we saw his blood actually. But, he was rappelling where he really didnt need to be but they had some beginners with them. But the 200 lb rock that he had anchored to came loose and came down on top of him. I saw the rock and it didnt look very fun. It was HUGE. If i knew how or what a PM was i would tell you how to get to it. Its very easy.
