"Girl plunges down gorge into River Braan"
"The spokesman said the accident happened when pupils from the school
were taking part in a "fully-supervised outdoor activity" on a route often used for such activities." If this can happen during a "fully-supervised outdoor activity", imagine what would happen if it were unsupervised!

She was airlifted to Ninewells Hospital in Dundee. The accident happened shortly before 1300 GMT, Tayside Police said. The girl was with an organised group from the Dundee City Council-run Ancrum Outdoor Centre. Her parents have been informed and the the Heath and Safety Executive been made aware of the incident.

Because you would guarantee that they continue happening, instead of doing something to STOP them. DUH! If you think I'M sick, what about the newspapers that are reporting it? Are they sick, too? Idiot. http://www.perthshireadvertiser.co.u...3103-25365246/ Teenager seriously injured in Perthshire gorge fall Dec 11 2009 by Johnathon Menzies, Perthshire Advertiser Friday A TEENAGER was expected to undergo surgery yesterday after suffering serious injuries when she plunged 90ft into a Perthshire gorge in a mountain bike accident. The 15-year-old girl, a pupil at Menzieshill School, Dundee, was plucked to safety from the River Tay by brave passers-by. She was said to be in a serious but stable condition in the Intensive Care Unit at Dundee’s Ninewells Hospital. She sustained a broken arm and serious internal injuries, including a ruptured spleen, crushed kidneys and a torn pancreas. It is believed she lost control of her bike and hit the Rumbling Bridge, near Dunkeld, before falling into the fast-flowing water. The rescuers moved her to a nearby ledge and stayed with her until emergency services arrived, shortly before 1pm on Wednesday. In the tricky rescue operation that followed, she was winched to safety by crew from HMS Gannet and taken to hospital. Tayside Fire and Rescue station manager, Kevin Lennon, said the girl seemed to have been catapulted over her handlebars. Mr Lennon said: “Looking over the bridge, you wonder how anyone could survive. This girl is very, very lucky to be alive.” Two ambulances, Tayside Police, Tayside Fire and Rescue and a paramedic from Dunkeld rushed to the scene. He stayed with the girl, who remained conscious throughout the ordeal, until a search and rescue helicopter from HMS Gannet, sbased at Prestwick, arrived and winched them to safety.
