Hey @cryptomancer, thanks for the reply. It is frightening how fragile life is. I knew a work colleague once who went on a bush walk one weekend, fell down a 30m decline and was pinned under a boulder. Required medivac and had the arm amputated.

He was pinned in water but was able to keep the head above it. Along with the lung punctures and other injuries he was very lucky to survive. I'd only seen him in the office the last working day. Sends shivers just thinking about it.

I agree, people get complacent and when they travel out of their own safe environment, it can be hard to get into the mindset of keeping aware of predators. Stay safe!
