A lot of recreational activities that have needed search and rescues are ones we don’t think are dangerous, for example Hiking, research has shown using the US National Parks service data in a ten year period.46,609 people needed search and rescue aid. In one year alone 2014, 3409 people required search and rescue 42% of them being day hikers. Nearly 53% of all in park search and rescues are male between the ages of 20 and 29, mostly mountain, canyon and river related. 164 people lost their lives that year, 3% were tragically never found.
