Meaning of 二次遭難{にじそうなん}


Context: the speaker was in a bad situation but got out of it, and has the
expectation that the other party is going to scold him for his carelessness.

> あれだけ注意したのに、まんまと **二次遭難** してバカだと思ってるんだろ？ ほんと、その通りだよ

What is the meaning of 二次遭難{にじそうなん} here? Dictionary defines 「二次」 as
"secondary" and 「遭難」 as "accident" or "being stranded". Being stranded would
somehow describe the nature of the situation, but I don't get the "secondary"
part.

If the word has uses in other contexts, I would like to know about them, too.




「二次遭難{にじそうなん}」 is an accident that could happen to you while you are trying to
rescue another that has already been in a (different) accident. It is
**derivative** in nature.

「二次」 here means "secondary" only in the sense that it takes place **_after_**
the original accident.

Unless the story you are reading is about an accident in mountain climbing,
「遭難」 is being used figuratively, which is quite common.

A far more comon word would be 「二次[災害]{さいがい}」.
