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.
