Not sure of the details, but Tom (@ratagonia) references a death from rock fall at rappel 6 in Lodge canyon.

Look at the last paragraph under "The Business"
"Loose rock falling on the last rappel station has been responsible for one fatality. Wear a helmet, clip into the belay, and pay attention to what you are doing."

Thanks Rob, I'll include that one.
TKPH, enven though the Boss Hog accident required rescue, and it IS an informative report, from what I can gather the risk of dying was minimal. It's in the 'broken ankle category', it just happens that the broken bones were 4 vetebral processes.THE MOST TALKED ABOUT CANYONEERING TRIP OF 2017 - WEST CANYON VIA HELICOPTER.

Not sure if this fits the bill but I'll throw it on the chopping block. In June 2006, Nolan Porter, Nathan Cresswell, and Ray Miller plan on doing Behunin but drop into Heaps instead due to GPS error and lack of a map. After talking to Ray about this, the 2 that went through all of Heaps in early June without wetsuits flirted with moderate-severe hypothermia constantly in the terminal narrows before SAR located them.

Sorry, here's a better explanation. Although Ray told me there are some inaccuracies added by the author to make this a better story.

There was that one in Shenanigans - father tried to climb up a cliffband in the dark (on the hike out), fell, broke his pelvis (life-threatening)... eventually evacuated. Uh, 2005???

30-40 foot ground fall in Sandthrax could have easily ended in death.

David Fleisher and Kim Ellis were not on a Scout trip. It was, however, an official LDS Youth Group trip.
I know they are spoken of as 'Boy Scouts' and they thought of themselves as Boy Scouts, but the BSA exercised very little control in those days and the authorization for their trip was signed off by their LDS Bishop.

Not sure if it was life threatening, but Steve Susswien (spelling?) also go stuck in Chambers.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.
