..in these situations as I've been to several places where these types of "hiker" accidents have happened. Do they just lack common sense? ???:
A hiker died after falling 500 feet from a mountain summit in California's Sequoia National Park
The 56-year-old San Jose man was with two other people when he lost his balance, according to the National Park Service. One of them, a 45-year-old Milpitas, California, woman, also fell after trying to grab the man, the agency said. She survived the 30-foot fall, according to officials.
When I was there, it's very easy to just follow warning signs and stay safe and yes, Sequoia is a beautiful site so these photos I took won't do justice (gotta be there in person to enjoy the breath taking views O0:

Accident will continue to happen as there are all kinds of people coming through. I remembered a story about a father who was pretending to fall in Grand Canyon to scare his daughter actually fell to his death. I could be wrong but I also remembered reading about a pher’s family member falling to his death and the family held her accountable for the incident. Just like water, many folks drown every summer too.

Sad but true..here's goes another recent case:
Tourists find dying woman who plunged 80 feet from canyon in Utah's Zion National Park. A woman was making her way through a canyon at Zion National Park when she plunged 50 to 80 feet. The 26-year-old was canyoneering alone Sunday when she fell in Mystery Canyon, Zion officials said.
