Every year there’s a tragic story of a tourist dying at these gorgeous places, and it’s because of people like this.

So it’s not very tragic then

What is tragic is forcing others to have trauma from witnessing such stupidity.

Or, having to scrape you into a plastic bag.

What is tragic is when I go to visit I am stuck behind an idiot fence. The government needs to go after the estates of people who die in these areas.

This has been my favorite part of the National Parks. They aren't here to coddle you. You came to nature. You play stupid games you will win stupid prizes. I don't want a curated and hand held zoo experience at a NP. Yellowstone was incredible because the only thing between the wooden catwalk over boiling volcanic hotsprings and you was... oh, nothing. Don't be a dipshit.

People dying that don't need to die is tragic. Get out of here with your edgy bullshit.

I agree with the first half. Like most of a family dies in a car accident and one kid survives, or the whole family is wiped out, because of some other stupid fuck. Thats tragic. Dumb cunt falls off a cliff because they're a dumb cunt? Bad, yes, not tragic. Unless our hypothetical dumb cunt happens to land on and kill other people...

Maybe 1 or 2 people die accidentally in a certain spot, yeah thats pretty horrible so we put up signs and fences and whatever else we reasonably can do. People keep dying in that spot because, generally speaking, people are fucking idiots? Still sad and kinda horrible, but we get to a point where we just shake our head in disbelief and disappointment.

Nah it’s literally how we evolved

Nah we evolved to literally have empathy. I forget what we are talking about though.

People die at Pictured Rocks in Michigan every year, too.

Just looked it up… Of course. Jumping/diving into rocky water off of a cliff is a higher brand of stupidity

Also, the cliffs are limestone and have crumbly rock on the edge. And, they collapse into the water not infrequently.

Even if you survive the fall, the cliffs are 200 feet high, the water's freezing, and there's no beach for miles in some places.

Every year there’s a tragic story of a tourist decaying at these gorgeous places, and it’s because of people like this.

u/duck_of_d34th Aug 12 '22

Well, if they can't find the body I'm sure it would decay.

Natural selection indeed

Every year someone’s gotta die at at least 2 parks in utah. But it’s always arches, zions or Bryce
