No injured cavers recorded.
In early June, 1971, a young from Ft. Stockton, Texas, was fatally injured in Sparrow Sink. An old fence was being used as a ladder for the more than 100 foot drop. The fence broke and he fell 50 feet to his death. He was not a caver; nor were his companions.
Untrained, inexperienced, and ill-equipped, this group of adventurers should not have considered going down the pit by any means. Using an old fence as a ladder was the ultimate in folly.
