Abstract
This article proposes an expansion of outdoor recreation opportunities to include wilderness areas in which users would bear sole responsibility for their personal welfare. Agencies managing areas designated for full-risk use would be absolved, indeed prohibited, from intervening at any time on behalf of any recreationist in distress.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
