No injured cavers recorded.
On Sunday, September 17. Steve Eddy (19) and companions were exploring in Lost Indian Cave in far northwest San Antonio. According to rescuers Eddy was "climbing out of the cave when he lost his grip on a muddy rope, then lost his footing and plunged (50 feet) back into the cave." He was evacuated three hours later by Emergency Medical Service technicians. He apparently had no serious injuries.
The authorities have tried to seal this cave but apparently it is dug open again by locals. This is the "third evacuation in recent years." Another example of spelunkers using techniques no 'organized' caver would use.
Individual fell while seemingly trying to climb hand over hand out of a cave. Fell 50' but was rescued by EMS with no serious injuries.
