I remember reading a story a few months back about a brother and sister going out to one of the pools at Yellowstone. The bro went off path to get closer to the pool so he could take a pic. There was an overhang on the pool, could not support his weight, broke and he dropped in. His sister watched him disintegrate in about 60 seconds. (It was a 200+ degree vat of caustic soda)
Respect the wild.
