    Default 2014 Fatality Free in US?

    Not trying to jinx anything, but did we make it through 2014 without a single overhead death in a US cave?

    I think you are right, I don't see any in the Accident Analysis forum.

    SSSHHHHHHH!

    There's no worse jinx in a fire house than to say "Boy, it's been quiet lately."

    Do not go gentle into that good night.
    Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    That's right - in the ER as well - we never say the "Q-word"!

    According to the NSS publication, American Caving Accidents, 2014 is the first accident free year since 1998. Unless there was something un-reported.

    I am with Webmaster, I intend to do my part to make 2015 accident free!
