Cain, Cynthia | Not recorded | Not recorded | Not recorded | Not recorded |
In September of 1982 three cavers were touring Binkley's Cave in Indiana. After some time they took a breather, all three sitting on a large breakdown slab. When they got up, the slab, weighing some 4-500 pounds, 'slipped about 1 1/2 feet, trapping the foot of one caver, Cynthia Cain. The other two cavers were just able to move the rock to free Cain. The foot was bruised and had a tear between two toes but was not sufficiently injured to prevent her from continuing.
Breakdown should always be considered potentially unstable.
Cynthia Cain's foot was trapped by a slipping rock while taking a break in Binkley's Cave but was freed with minor injuries.
