4 Fatalities: Traditional and sport climbing German Alpine Club reported 7 deaths during 2006 and 2007 (no differentiation between disciplines eg. sport, trad, ice). Bowie et al.: 13 of 220 injured climbers died - a case fatality rate of 6%. Bowie`s Yosemite date are in accordance with the results of Hubicka for European climbing areas. Josephsen et al.: prospective study on bouldering reported no fatalities at all. Schöffl et al: Indoor climbing and World Cup 2012 competition climbing: no fatalites Hartmann and Schöffl 2014 (in progress): 584 climbers one year prospectively no fatality, 66 injuries 4

15 Conclusion Ice Climbing Ice climbing is a discipline with high objective risk potential, but with a low numbers of injuries and fatalities Obviously the higher risk is compensated by the climbers by decreased readiness to assume risk and increased cautioness The risk of fatal accidents can not yet be defined. Canadian and Swiss data indicate one fatal accident per year There is potential to further decrease the incidences Further research necessary, actually UIAA MedCom: Ice Climbing competitions Schwarz, Schöffl
