ITRS: Exposure

Defined by the consequences of a fall

Exposure-1-Green.png
Normal injury risk

 
  • Trail is not exposed in a way that a fall would have more severe consequences as it anyway has.

  • There are also no sections that are exposed but secured by safety nets to mitigate the consequences of a fall, so you will not feel vertigo.

High risk of serious injury
 
  • A fall in such terrain carries a high risk of serious injury

  • Examples: steep forest or meadow terrain below the trail, where one can stop a fall; or a 2 m high vertical drop directly next to the trail.

  • There can be sections that are more exposed but secured by safety nets, so you may feel vertigo.
