A few high profile climbers have been hurt (most notably Dick Williams while taking wingers during a photo-shoot, but the statistics I've seen are a vast majority of the injuries are on the 5.4 to 5.8 climbs that are G/PG. Please correct me if I am wrong but I am guessing; most of these accidents were 1-Majority of them were gym climbers who wanted to try trad 2- During lead or it was caused by a leader fall. 3- Climbers had less than 2 years of outdoor climbing experience (5.8 or less) 4- Most accidents were involved with multiple protection failures 5- Inexperienced belayer I am very interested to know if #1 and #3 are accurate.
