Aspen Achievement Academy closed after 23 years and 1,100 graduations. One kid died in 2007. The loss rate is 0,1%. A program like Catherine Freer has served just as many, but they have lost 3 teenagers.
How dangerous is public schools compared to the number of users?
How dangerous are public streets compared to the number of users?
How dangerous are alcohol consumption compared to the number of users?
Get the numbers of the table. What are the loss rates?

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University had a higher loss rate during the Seung-Hui Cho era.

It's not just the rates. It's also whether the deaths were foreseeable given the circumstances, and could have been prevented.
Many of the deaths in wilderness programs occur when staff fail to recognize the seriousness of an injury and/or physiological condition.
Why? Because they assume that the kid is faking or exaggerating. Staff are generally informed, by management and co-workers, that that's what these kids do, and part of their job is to push these kids beyond their comfort point. It's all part of the "therapy."
Staff are also subjected to indoctrination by programs, not just kids. You could say one of the job benefits is immersion in the "therapeutic milieu." :twofinger:

Children always fake it for attention from staff and peers. The attention games are an epidemic amongst troubled teens in this country. :roflmao:

Speak for yourself. Personally, I think the attention games are even more epidemic amongst the population of trolls on the internet. :D
