I covered these points because from time to time all organizations see a little backsliding. SARA is a mature organization of over 35 years. Loyalty to victims has won out over baser human instincts. Please strive to maintain and advance this good record. Another concern is the very curious, and all too common, tendency to evaluate the victim's chances of survival in an overly negative light.
People are at once both amazingly easy to kill, and also astonishingly durable.
I'm aware of cases where a victim has fallen a ridiculously short distance, say about five feet, and died instantly. At the same time ther've been people who've sustained serious and critical injuries in the wilderness who dragged themselves for days through rough terrain and unpleasant weather to reach a road . The point of all this is that it's impossible to predict how any given individual will fare in a survival situation. At least from the limited data available to searchers. We have no right to speculate the victim to death before the body is found.
