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.

Meaning of 二次遭難{にじそうなん}
「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}」.

> 二次{にじ}遭難{そうなん}

とは、

遭難{そうなん}した人{ひと}の救助{きゅうじょ}に向{む}かった者{もの}／人{ひと}が再{ふたた}び遭難{そうなん}すること。

**【English】**

> 二次{にじ}遭難{そうなん}

is;

Those (=A) who rescue those (=B) who were distressed at the (first) accident
again (secondary) could be distressed at the related accident. The first
accident may be pure accidental, but the second accident could be expected. So
those who rescue should take care more than that of those who were didtressed
at the first accident. If those who rescue take the same care as that of the
first ones and got ditressed, they could be said "バカ silly/stupid/foolish" for
their carelessness.
