DeLoughery, Emma P. and Thomas G. DeLoughery. Review and Analysis of Mountaineering Accidents in the United States from 1947-2018. . 23:114-118, 2022. Given the popularity of mountaineering, it is important to better understand accidents related to this sport. We undertook this review of accidents to better understand the demographics and locations involved in mountaineering accidents over 71 years. Data collected from "Accidents in North American Mountaineering" booklets from 1947 to 2018 included the date, state and location of the accident, sex and age of the victim, type of accident, injuries sustained, and distance fallen if a fall occurred. If at least 10 accidents occurred in an individual state and/or location, these sites were separately analyzed. From 1947 to 2018, 2,799 people were reported to be involved in mountaineering accidents, and 43% of these accidents resulted in death. Women were involved in 12% of cases. Falls were the most common accident (68% incidence, 45% fatal), followed by falling rock (7%, 26% fatal), avalanche (6%, 75% fatal), and falling into a crevasse (2%, 52% fatal). The average age of victims was 30 years. California had the most accidents (18%), followed by Washington (16%) and Alaska (15%). Denali had the greatest frequency of both accidents and deaths (11%, 8% of deaths), followed by Mount Rainier (6%, 7% of deaths) and Mount Hood (2%, 3% of deaths). Accident victims tend to be young and predominantly male, and the accidents themselves are most often falls. Avalanches were identified as an accident cause with a high fatality rate.
德劳格里，艾玛 P. 和托马斯 G. 德劳格里。1947-2018 年美国登山事故回顾与分析。. 23:114-118, 2022. 鉴于登山的普及，了解与这项运动相关的事故非常重要。我们对这些事故进行了回顾，以便更好地了解 71 年来登山事故涉及的人群统计数据和地点。 从 1947 年到 2018 年，从“北美登山事故”手册中收集的数据包括事故日期、州和地点、受害者的性别和年龄、事故类型、受伤情况以及是否发生坠落，如果发生坠落，坠落的距离。如果一个州和/或地点发生的事故至少有 10 起，这些地点将分别进行分析。 从 1947 年到 2018 年，有 2799 人报告参与登山事故，其中 43%的事故导致死亡。女性参与了 12%的案例。坠落是最常见的事故（发生率 68%，死亡率 45%），其次是落石（7%，死亡率 26%）、雪崩（6%，死亡率 75%）和掉入裂缝（2%，死亡率 52%）。受害者的平均年龄为 30 岁。加利福尼亚州发生的事故最多（18%），其次是华盛顿州（16%）和阿拉斯加州（15%）。德纳里峰的事故和死亡频率最高（11%，死亡人数占 8%），其次是雷尼尔山（6%，死亡人数占 7%）和胡德山（2%，死亡人数占 3%）。 事故受害者往往年轻且主要是男性，事故本身大多是坠落。雪崩被确定为导致高死亡率的事故原因。
