<p>Pit Schubert's series "Safety and Risk in Rock and Ice" is a true classic. In three volumes, he describes accidents involving mountaineers, rock climbers and ice climbers and presents the results of alpine accident and safety research. He has probably saved many people from making fatal mistakes for which others have previously paid with their health or even their lives.</p><p>Anything is possible - but really anything. Volume 3 also contains accidents and curious incidents that you wouldn't even dream of. Only practice can produce such things. Schubert's credo: if the accidents have already happened once, they don't necessarily have to happen again. So if accidents are made known, others can learn from them and further accidents of the same kind can be avoided.</p><p>Volume 3 of the "Safety and Risk" series is an incredibly exciting and instructive compendium made from the wealth of experience of accident research. In addition, this volume also contains an extensive chapter on accidents that have ended up in court. The reader learns how typical cases - in which he will hopefully never be involved - can end up in court. Equipment is not neglected this time either. Anyone interested in this - and what mountaineer or climber wouldn't want to know how their rope, carabiners, crampons etc. are holding up - will find out the most important things in a condensed form.</p><p>The author Pit Schubert was head of the DAV safety circle for 32 years and during this time also represented the DAV on the standards committees. Before that, the extreme mountaineer and climber worked in the aerospace industry for a decade and a half. From there, he brought with him the technical knowledge to examine equipment according to the latest findings and uncover defects. With his decades of research work in the field of alpine safety, he has shaped the development of mountaineering equipment and technology like no other over four decades. Pit Schubert has played a decisive role in ensuring that the high-risk sports of mountaineering, rock climbing and ice climbing are safer today than ever before.</p> <p>Pit Schubert | Bergverlag Rother | 3rd edition 2013 | 224 pages | 343 color illustrations and 80 sketches | format 16.3 x 23.0 cm | hardcover</p>
