On Sunday afternoon, September 11, 1983, four cavers entered Natural Well, in Alabama. These were Rob Albright, Bruce Boles (18), Scott York (17) and Roy Law (16). Using figure 8's or D rings they rappelled in. After exploring a bit they started out. All four made it to the ledge about 40 feet off the floor but three could go no further. Albright continued out on a Prussik knot system and called the authorities at 8:39 p.m. The Huntsville-Madison County Rescue Squad was notified and called cavers. Caver rescuers soon arrived on the scene. One descended, rigged one of the victims for ascent and sent him out. The rest were hauled out with a 2:1 pulley system.
According to Francis, the victims had improper equipment and a lack of training.
