High-risk, Critical Decision Making under Time-pressure: Some Parallels and Learning from Split-second Choices Made in Extreme Adventure Sports
In a world where crisis, surprise and change is the new norm, everyone from professional
manager down to the layman is keen to understand how to make quick decisions under emergent
situations. This article, employing self-reflective analysis of critical incidents, describes the
author’s personal experiences from the field of adventure sports categorized as high-risk, critical
decisions, involving split-second choices—made while sky-diving and flying between 10,000
feet down to 10 feet above ground level—to trace the mental cognitive processes from a decision
maker’s perspective. This is used to discuss and establish a practitioner’s operational framework
of high-risk, critical decision scenarios, drawing upon established theories and frameworks from
cognitive and psychological decision research.
