| Wilson, Johnny | 12 | Male | Not recorded | Not recorded |
Tuesday, 9 October 1975 Johnny Wilson (12) had been to Simpson's Cave two or three times before, but his friend, Scott Trotter (11), had not. They entered the cave after school Tuesday using a lantern for light. When it started flickering they began to run to get out. The two boys fell over a ledge and Trotter injured his nose and Wilson bruised his knee. They were found about midnight by the Somerset-Pulaski County Rescue Squad and Pulaski County Sheriff's officers.
Analysis: Clearly the boys did not have adequate light nor experience for cave exploration.
