Risk Management in Outdoor Recreation

Risk management in outdoor recreation involves identifying potential hazards—such as rough terrains, weather conditions, or equipment failures—and taking steps to minimize their impact. It includes planning, proper training, and safety measures to protect participants and staff. The goal is to allow people to enjoy outdoor activities while reducing the chances of injury or accidents. This proactive approach ensures that risks are understood, managed, and controlled, creating a safer environment for everyone involved without overly restricting the experience.
