I agree, accidents are an important factor in considering whether or not these events should be banned. But I also think that they can be hazing.
My chapter doesn't do this so I have never participated in a scavenger hunt.kidnapping, etc, so I can't really say how I would feel if it were to happen. I'd like to think that if these activites were not considered hazing and my chapters was to have activites likes this that were would do it with the utmost respect for each other and make sure it was fun, and not force anyone to do anything that they were the slightest bit uncomfotable with.
I think the problem is that there are members/chapters of some orgs that cross the line. That where the hazing comes in. I think our orgaizations have banned these activites because of the certain members/chapters that have crossed the line between fun and hazing. If we can't all participate in these kinds of activites responsibly then we can't participate in them at all.
