An outdoor education/adventure program cannot ensure safety, because the definition of being safe is “free from harm,” and an outdoor education/adventure program requires and promotes engaging in activities that are inherently risky.
“The severity of an undesirable outcome times the likelihood of the undesirable outcome,” but always with a mindfulness to the benefit of the activity.
“Improper allegiance to safety imperils learning.”

“Risks prudently managed, yet still allowed.”
