West Virginia, Norman's Cave
Saturday, 19 July 1975
Bob Boward (28) and Robert Gulden made a sightseeing trip through Norman's Cave. Around 7 p.m. on the way up out of the wet stream passage going into the Entrance Room, Boward slipped as he climbed over a large breakdown block. Boward dislocated his shoulder. His arm was immobilized by tying it to his side with webbing. Because of the pain it took 1 1/2 hours to go the 200 feet to the entrance.
Analysis: The breakdown was very slick. The group was correct in immobilizing the dislocated shoulder before trying to move the victim.
