Description

A Portland, Oregon, man died Tuesday when he fell into a hot spring at Yellowstone National Park—just three days after a father and son suffered burns after stepping off a path at another Yellowstone thermal attraction. There seem to be rules against everything one wants to do in this park," she said with a petulant frown. "Now what possible reason can there be for not allowing my dog a little freedom? Poor Von has been tied up all day!"

Death In Yellowstone: True stories of park’s fatal perils

there are basically two points. one: nature is wild, and yellowstone is not disney. it is not and should not be retrofitted to play nice with the tourists. and two: don't be an idiot. a b c d Kalt, Brian C. (2005). "The Perfect Crime". The Georgetown Law Journal. 93 (2): 675. SSRN 691642. Archived from the original on January 17, 2021 – via the Michigan State University College of Law. Vous n'y trouverez pas les détails de chaque histoire (cela deviendrait vite rébarbatif) mais une sélection exhaustive des plus marquantes. Cependant un renvoi vers d'autres sources d'informations est toujours présent, au cas où vous voudriez en savoir plus. This particular edition is the second edition which came out in 2014. The author Lee H. Whittlesey is a historian who lives and has worked within Yellowstone National Park for many many years. His love for the park can be seen within his writings. There is a bit eye rolling in his voice, but with good reason. Some of the things that I've read are simply amazing. Amazing as in, I can not believe...I should believe...people are THAT STUPID.

Injuries

Other means of death were: murder, suicide, lightning, earthquake, bison, eating poisonous plants, avalanches, cave-ins, falling trees, forest fires, battles (between Indians and whites in the1800's), horses, accidental shootings, diving, structural fires, stove explosions, stagecoach accidents, carbon monoxide poisoning, airplane crashes, etc. The book also contains a chapter on people who are missing (usually for unknown causes) and presumed dead.

What's particularly surprising is that some people have actually survived falling into the hot springs. These were always people who were submerged only partially, though, such as up to their knees.

NPT: Which of the park’s dangers scares you the most?

In the first chapter "Death in Hot Water", it's pretty insane how often people ignore warning signs. Even in 2018, I witnessed a lady step over the warning signs to get a closer look/picture of a hot spring with her phone. Like obviously this is wrong, but people live on the belief that it won't happen to me. More outraging is 'Deaths from Bears', people thought because it was a "park" that the bears were tamed creatures and that they could befriend them. How dumb?!? Why would that ever be a thing. I'm afraid of dogs that are roaming by themselves on the streets...I couldn't imagine walking into a BEAR and being like "look how cute he is?!?". Wow some people. And probably also don't read this book. Unless you just really want to know how many ways a person can die in Yellowstone. If you read one or both of the Michael P. Ghiglieri books mentioned above and want more of that, this is not more of that. It also bears mentioning that there are a lot of bad dog stories in here. Not stories of bad dogs (tho some do show questionable judgement, even for dogs), but bad stories about dogs. Just casually slipped in all over the place. Like dog doo in tall grass, ready to strike when you least expect it. I did not, in fact, see a single mention of a dog that wasn't a complete (dry, pompous, pedantic) horror. So, not for nothing, don't take your dogs to Yellowstone. No good can possibly come of it. Don't argue with me, just get a sitter or go somewhere else. Morton, Tom (March 12, 2009). "Yellowstone 'no man's land' leaves jurisdiction question". Casper Star-Tribune. Archived from the original on January 31, 2021 – via the Billings Gazette. Prior to the 1990s, bison injuries were fairly rampant in the park with about 46 non-fatal gorings reported between 1983 and 1994, according to Whittlesey’s research. Part of his job at the park involved monitoring traffic jams caused by bison herds and making sure visitors kept their distance.
