We used to have to deal with a volunteer youth worker whose day job was in A&E. It was a complete nightmare organising any kind of outdoor activity, because this person would constantly quote all the horrendous injuries they had seen, incurred as a result of all the various activities we wanted to put on.
People who deal with the consequences when things go wrong are rarely the best people to go to for a balanced view of whether there is a systemic problem. They are too closely acquainted with one small but highly traumatic part of the issue and their perspective is inevitably skewed.
