South African Mountain Incidents


	During 2004 the security-related incidents in South African mountains started to gain a high profile. There were several cases of people being attacked in various mountain areas, some of which resulted in high-profile visibility. As a consequence this database was born. Its purpose is: To provide a place for people to report what they have seen or experienced To provide a place for people to share the lessons they've learnt To provide a place for outdoors users to gain forewarning of problem areas To provide a place which the land-owners and -managers can use to track activity To provide a tool to spot emerging trends This database is not perfect, either: The places with the best levels of reporting will look the worst because they have the most data. Probabilities cannot be determined because there's no activity intensity level to compare to.
