Primary dangers in the cave result from flooding and from the climbs into the upper level passages in the first and second rooms. In the event of a fall and the need for a rescue, it appears that a sked-type stretcher could be taken out through the winding entrance passage without too much difficult. The only problematic area might be at the downstream end of the entrance passage where it enters the first room. In fact, despite the large amount of crawling in the cave, moving a stretcher through most of its length would not appear to be too difficult. The most difficult area to negotiate would probably be the Duck-Under, the fissure and wet crawl between the Barnyard and the Otter Slide.
Flooding is another problem.
If someone is trapped in the cave, all they can do is move to the highest ground and hope the water recedes before it gets there. No attempts should be made at rescue until the water levels drop and it is safe to enter the cave. One of the problems with the cave is that the first place in the cave to flood is the first crawl off the second room. This crawl, beyond which the majority of the cave lies, acts like the elbow in a drainpipe. In less than 20 years, this room was filled to within a foot of the ceiling.
