I see what you mean. To quote the 1995 report: "5. The underground animal incidents involved 8 sheep, 4 lambs, 3 dogs, 1 cow, 1 goat, and 1 duck."
I'll take a duck rescue over a sheep any day.

I cannot find anything on this topic. Can you possibly help me? I can tell her what the NSS Office probably wouldn't. The mortality rate for spelunkers is the same as for cavers -- 100% and guaranteed. Some before their time, some well after. As for the mortality rates in caving, Bill pointed her to the right place: American Caving Accidents (ACA) < www.caves.org/pub/aca/ > has tables of all accidents/incidents by year, including deaths, but they're just listed; she'll have to tally them manually.
