Abstract
Despite calls for a systems approach to assessing and preventing injurious incidents within the led out-door activity domain, applications of systems analysis frameworks to the analysis of incident data have been sparse. This article presents an analysis of 1014 led outdoor activity injury and near miss incidentswhereby a systems-based risk management framework was used to classify the contributing factorsinvolved across six levels of the led outdoor activity 'system'. The analysis identified causal factors acrossall levels of the led outdoor activity system, demonstrating the framework's utility for accident analysisefforts in the led outdoor activity injury domain. In addition, issues associated with the current datacollection framework that potentially limited the identification of contributing factors outside of theindividuals, equipment, and environment involved were identified. In closing, the requirement for newand improved data systems to be underpinned by the systems philosophy and new models of led outdooractivity accident causation is discussed.
