Brown, Steven | 28 | Male | Tension pneumothorax | Not recorded |
October 7, 1978 At around 4 p.m. on October 7, Steven Brown (28), Thomas Carter and Terria Caldwell entered Dynamited Cave in Skamania County, Washington. They went at least past the climable 10-foot drop and the 40-foot pit. On the way out Carter and Caldwell reached the top of the 40. As Brown ascended he reached the upper, sloping part of the drop and then fell to the talus pile below. Caldwell left to notify the Forest Service and Sheriff's Office, while Carter stayed with the victim. Sheriff's Deputies and an ambulance were dispatched. Three and a half hours later the victim had been evacuated. His injuries were later diagnosed as multiple abrasions and tension pneumothorax.
