EVALUATING LOW FALLING

POTENTIAL RISKS BROKEN
HIGH EQUIPTMENT
1. FALLING = tHE FREQUENCY IS HIGH AND THE SEVERITY IS LOW BECAUSE Often
while mountain climbing mountaineer find themselves in ‘no-fall zones’.

2. broken equiptment = the frequency is low and the severity is high

because Gear failures result in a very low percentage of all
mountaineering accidents.
