Entertaining and educational

A fascinating book documenting thousands of accidents in flying, mountaineering and sailing along with causes and comments on avoidance. The accidents are categorized by root cause (mechanical failure, weather, lack of experience/planning etc.). Difficult to read cover to cover - there is too much information. But very interesting and entertaining to dip into. People participating in 'risk' sports should read this book.
