In reply to Max factor:
There are some other easily disproved statistics in there as well, 6% of people having had to call the emergency services for help. The way its written would suggest that is 6% of the population. In 2017, the most recent year that stats are available for England Wales MR assisted 1722 people.

England and Wales has a population of approx 60 million. That works out at about 0.003% of the population being helped by MR per year. If we assume for the sake of argument that the average age of respondent to the survey is 50 then maybe 0.15% of the population have been assisted by mountain rescue in their lifetime. Maybe in the average call out there is a group of three needing help but only one actually needs assistance, that gets it up to 0.45%, and maybe in half of accidents people simply call for an ambulance, that gets it up to 0.9%. 6% to me does not seem credible and therefore I wouldn't trust any of the statistics in this report
