Etna safety is procedural, not dramatic. Strong guides keep risk controlled through consistent process rather than last-minute heroics.

Guide risk workflow

Condition reading
Route selection
Pace control
Continuous reassessment

How visitors help safety

Stay inside spacing instructions
Report discomfort early
Avoid independent shortcuts for photos

How small errors escalate

Small mistake	Possible outcome
Ignored regroup call	Fragmented group control

Calm compliance with guide instructions is one of the highest-impact safety choices you can make.
