[from tomckayak, I believe] Note also the annual compendium "Accidents in North American Mountaineering," published by the AAC -- not, as Tom correctly points out, a "sports magazine." However, when I read some of the climbing mags (20 years ago) there were regular accounts of accidents, somewhat similar to what is detailed in SK. The accident/injury coverage is beneficial, and I hope mfrs do not pressure SK editors to eliminate it. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
