On January 30, a group of eight cavers was in Patton Cave, Monroe County, West Virginia. At the Football Room they got ready to do the 30 foot drop. Fred Grady (33) felt a call to nature. Looking about, he found what he thought was an ideal place, near the main passage up on a ledge. As he stood up to rearrange his coveralls, he fell off the ledge. This was a drop of only 5 feet and though his chest struck some rocks, he was only momentarily stunned and soon rejoined the rest of the party. Seven hours later, on leaving the cave, he started to feel some discomfort. An x-ray showed he had only bruised ribs.
No comment.
