The boy sounds like a real trooper 😎
Again, mind boggling to me that the kid would be returned at the end of the trip with such extensive injuries and nothing said.
Poor judgement can happen though. Some years back a local high school took a 100+ students on a trip to a huge granite batholith here in Texas called Enchanted Rock. The trip being a reward for passing. One of the more hazardous places to being a kid on account of the many rock-climbing opportunities.
Too many kids, some clueless non-athletic teachers, sure enough they ended up Life Flighting a kid from the top of the granite dome.
