[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this because of the Fox news article about National Parks being dangerous. I think the rate of death/injury in national parks is pretty low and they aren't any more dangerous than State parks or just going into the wilderness in general. Just be careful, stay on trails and don't go near the edge of a cliff.

I grew up in AZ and went on many a hikes. Occasionally we would step near or over a rattlesnake and have never been bit. They have a rattle for a reason. They like to warn folks and are not unnecessarily aggressive.

It is actually extremely rare of bears to attack groups of people. [/quote]

No, it's from The Hill article a few days ago. And the Forbes article last year. And all those other articles that say the same thing that get recycled, year after year. Don't be such a tool.
