Are there statistics on how often such searches have found the missing person alive? Or even some representative cases?

- peter303 10y agoI read 14ers.com, a Colorado based hiking social network. A lot of incidents are real time. Someone will be overdue several hours, then both a social network alert and formal SAR will start. I'd guess about half have happy endings. Just last week a climber of Pyramid near Aspen was overdue. He survived a 2000 foot fall and hobbled out to a joyful reception. This week starts the spring break danger period. Invincible college newbies post nearly impossible trip plans. And I roll my eyes.
