Warner, David | 19 | Not recorded | Not recorded | Not recorded |
On Tuesday, June 11, three cavers entered Indian Grave Point Cave in DeKalb County, Tennessee. Previous to this, one of the group, David Warner (19) had injured an arm. After caving for a while, the injured arm lost some of its function and Warner was unable to proceed over breakdown and up handlines. His companions found their way out and reported Warner's predicament to the Sheriff. Unfortunately they were unfamiliar with the cave and could not lead the authorities to Warner. Cavers were able to question the two and guess the appropriate part of the cave to search. Sure enough, Warner was found in the Schoolhouse Passage and assisted out of the cave.
Caver David Warner was unable to proceed in the cave due to a pre-existing arm injury that lost function while caving.
