Mexico, who is currently in Costa Rica, teaching a rescue course.

This past Sunday, Espeleo Rescate Mexico (ERM) was notified of an
accident in Grutas de La Puente, in the Sierra de Alvarez, San Luis
Potosi, Mexico. This is a very well known cave that is often visited by
US cavers, actually Joe Ivy and Becky Jones were frequent visitors.
There is an alternate exit from the cave, through some badly
deteriorated metal stairs. A group was going up these when a metal bar
fell on a person's head and he had to be helped by his friends, who
guided him through the normal exit.
It is worth noting that a lot of non-cavers visit this cave and the
majority of them use the stairs to exit. This part of the cave has a lot
of damage, some steps are missing in the stairs, they are very rusty, etc.
The ERM group from San Luis Potosi found the patient outside of the
cave, and there was no need to go in. The patient was just transported
to the hospital for evaluation.
