For students training to be professional outdoor leaders, practicing outdoor leaders, guides, and other professionals, Attarian (parks, recreation, and tourism management, North Carolina State U.) collects about 50 scenarios to illustrate how to examine a hazardous situation and implement appropriate risk management strategies to prevent or reduce the potential for injury. He outlines risk management models and concepts, legal terms and concepts, the roles of program staff and participants in safety, environmental conditions, equipment, and transportation, and scenarios related to these aspects, such as lost group members, injuries, bear problems, lightning strikes, drownings, falls, and icy roads, with questions.
