Abseiling Is Not a Panacea: When the Adventure Experience Is Not Good for You.
Kiewa, Jackie
Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Leadership, v9 n4 p13-15 Win 1992

Adventure experience leaders, in their enthusiasm for challenge and self-discovery through adventure, may ignore those clients who exist in a state of anxiety. This warning is particularly salient in regards to captive populations, such as a school group in a compulsory outdoor education experience. (TD)
