It sounds like each fell to their deaths and nothing could have prevented it, so really it has nothing to do with the parks being unmanned.

“At the Glen Canyon National Park in Arizona, the 14-year-old girl fell from the Horseshoe Bend Overlook on Christmas Eve, the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office confirmed.

Later on Christmas Day in Yosemite National Park in California, a man died after he slipped down a long, granite hill and fell into a river, injuring his head, according to the Associated Press.

A third person died Thursday of this week, when high winds caused a tree to fall over on top of a woman and her 6-year-old son in Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee, the AP reported. The woman died and her son broke his leg in the accident”

Are you nuts? ALL of those horrible tragedies could have been averted if park rangers were there to hold the hands of these poor unfortunates and kept they out of the danger zone. If only the Evil Orange One hadn’t shut down the government!

I remember discussing the first one on here last week. We were trying to decide if it was a selfie induced suicide. That means it got reported somewhere.

These natural parks seem dangerous. Trees falling on people, wild animals attacking, cliffs and rivers. F that. I’ll stick to the pub. Safer there.
