Mr. RightField, my recently retired husband and 37-year veteran of public school teaching, commented, "I wonder what she
tells told her kids about following the walking rules in the school hallways. And I wonder what kind of discipline policies she helped formulate as a school board member."
well .... rules ARE for other people, right? .... never mind ....

Ya know most people spend most of their life in urban settings which have been de-naturized. Their only exposure is watching a tv show with some expert making it look easy. Then when people get out in the real world they make mistakes. Doesn't mean they are stupid just means they are out of their element.
Everyone has a "it can't happen to me" attitude to some extent. The people who pay attention to the warnings are generally those with enough experience to know it can happen to them.

"...F'ing hypocrites." Aren't you being somewhat extreme in your assessment?

Sometimes us city folks forget how really dangerous the natural world is. Especially since we as a culture tend to glorify it.
And to make it worse, when you're focusing on your photography, sometimes, your brain isn't exactly paying attention to your surroundings.

How on Earth could you get a better picture going beyond that fence?

There's no guard rail on the American Falls at Niagara Falls. Every now and then somebody hops in to see what happens. Ouch. Of course, there's nothing to stop anyone from getting into the horseshoe falls, either, American or Canadian side. The Canadian side is especially dangerous as its just a slippery grassy bank between the sidewalk and the river just 50 ft behind the falls.

I've been there. It looks like Tower Falls on the east side of the Grand Loop (northeast quadrant).

Ne Zot! She went over a chest-high fence to take a picture? What was she thinking?
It's still awful for her family, though. We've all done stupid things and survived them, or we wouldn't be posting now. It's a reminder that (as a theological concept) the world is against us. Gravity bites, and so do bears; physics kills.

You don't happen to have a picture of a park service sign there warning people not to cross the fence?
