I thought I would post some examples, but to my surprise, I could not find
a good link to
one on the internet.    All of the analysis reports online that I found
were cave-diving incidents, or just not posted as a separate link.

Here is one from 1977, but you have to scroll down all the way to the
bottom to see it,
and there is no sketch and only a vague analysis.     Meaning there are no
photos, and no
interviews with the participants, to collaborate the analysis authenticity.

The most detailed caving accident analysis that I am aware of online, is
unfortunately the one many Texas cavers feel a very close connection to.

I am posting the link as an example only, and not to discuss that trajedy.

On a related note to the above link,

We may all disagree on a few things, but one thing many of us have in
common, ( that we don't share with the outside world ) is our common bond
to lost caving friends.   One thing I miss when I skip an NSS Convention is
the toast at the banquet to lost caving friends.     While I only vaguely
knew some of the cavers that passed away in my time, I think about them
often.    It is sad that our lives are so hectic, that we can't remember
when another year lapses since their passing.     Maybe if I would sit
around a caver campfire, I would hear a toast to one of them.

P.S.  My next caving accident (which will be at least  my 7th ) will most
likely require hauling my 300 lbs. on a stretcher.  After that, you can all
poke fun at me and criticize/analyze whatever I did that I should have
known better.   My 6 accidents, do not include many other near accidents or
errors that could have led to an accident.  But I feel all of those made me
a more cautious caver, and definitely more opinionated.
