"Odd things happen from time to time in the mountains. People with experience do things you do not expect them to do and bad things happen. I do remember Bob Rutledge posting pictures of a fracture ankle he incurred after glissading while wearing crampons. "
I guess that's the lesson, so it should not be a surprise that less experienced people do unexpected things, too.
Wasn't it Bob Rockwell that posted those pics?
