Description
Introduction Of the 128 outdoor education related deaths since 1960 that I have studied (Brookes, 2003a, 2007), 14 have been due to falling trees or branches - about 11%. Of the 17 deaths that have occurred at the time of writing since January 2000, 5 (29%) have been due to falling trees or branches. While this much higher proportion of the recent deaths is almost certainly random, the recent cluster of incidents has served to highlight the potential danger of activities in treed areas. In this article I examine the grounds on which death or serious injury due to falling trees or branches can be regarded as an unavoidable inherent risk1 in outdoor education, and the extent to which such incidents can be regarded as preventible. I consider alternative approaches to prevention, and conclude how best to reduce the risk in the future.
