Outdoor Recreation Focus

Josh is an outdoor recreation instructor, who was in charge of leading a group of Year 9 students on a
wilderness hike. This was the seventh hike that Josh had led. The other leader, Luke, was a new instructor
and did not have any hiking experience.
The hike was held in the first week of November. There were 14 students in the group and two leaders. On
the day of the hike, the group had a late start on the trail. The temperature had already reached 33 °C with
75 % humidity.
After hiking for 4 km, the group stopped for lunch. Josh noticed that there were cumulus clouds building.
The group was eager to get back on the trail, so they headed off quickly to the path, which was a steep
descent down a ledge section of a rock trail along a gorge. The upper section of the trail had rocks that
were worn and slippery.
As the hike progressed, the students moved more slowly. Some students had difficulty carrying their
backpacks in the steeper sections. On a few occasions, Luke had to assist these students by carrying their
backpacks as well as his own. Soon, the wind increased and cumulonimbus clouds started to form. Large
raindrops began to fall and the sky darkened very quickly.
The group still had not reached the end of the trail when Luke slipped on a wet rock. He was carrying one
of the students’ backpacks, which caused him to fall backwards, hitting his head on a boulder and injuring
his ankle. The student who was hiking next to him screamed and started to panic as Luke fell. Josh was in
front of the group and heard the scream. Josh’s first reaction was to drop his backpack and rush to Luke.
When he arrived, Luke was conscious and complaining of a sore ankle.
