they climbed over a barricade

Back when I was a good deal younger and even more stupid, I climbed over a barricade in Zion NP and managed to get injured.

Lucky enough to only dislocate my shoulder, but walking out six miles and then being driven 40 miles to hospital with dislocated shoulder was not a pleasant experience.

Darwin Award contender, I guess.

When my family went to places with water falls my mother was especially forceful about where we could and could not go. We had enough fear of her wrath to listen let me tell you.

These guys were in their twenties...not kids... Daring and foolish for having believed they were invinceable. Three lifes snuffed out in seconds. A tragedy no doubt...but oh it could have been different.

That’s a beautiful park, I enjoyed it more than the grand canyon.

As a guy who’s had dislocated shoulders, I can relate to the pain.. it’s not a good time I agree.
