| Nigon, Dick | 25 | Male | Fracture | Toe |
A group of seven cavers, ranging in age from 17 to 28, were returning from a 14-hour trip into the Lower Lipps section of Organ Cave. Dick Nigon (about 25) made a 7-foot drop from the Stadium Room to the floor of the Rimstone Passage. Nigon broke his toe, apparently on this drop, but did not mention it to his companions. The nearest entrance, still three hours away, was reached without further incident.
Analysis: An alternative route requiring only a 4-foot drop was overlooked by some members of the group. As a result of this incident, first aid supplies and fresh carbide have now been stocked in this remote section of Organ Cave and at the Field House.
