The number of incidents has increased over the years, with 2023 being a record year at almost 100 call-outs!

Most incidents occur in the afternoon, when walkers tend to be descending, often fatigued and more prone to accidents.

The most likely injuries are lower leg fractures and sprains, usually from slips and trips.
