As someone who worked as Security in Yellowstone, the stupidity of the average person is terrifying.
That's why you have loathsome people like Trump getting elected.
It's OK though, if they survive the experience, eventually they'll go home and use that intellect to vote.
I Imagine you could write a book on things you witnessed while working security at Yellowstone
you mean average american
@@Eyedunno 😅🤣😂good one!
Im rooting for the hot springs, the buffalo, and the canyon
But the tourists below in the canyon didn't do anything it was the people that threw stuff that deserved the bonk
Lame clip--had she slipped and fell all the way in it would have been hilarious tho.
Yep! Against stupidity, ... hot springs, the buffalo and the canyon win everytime.
You're not the only one friend !!!
☑️
These hot springs are no joke.... I still remember the heartbreaking story of a guy whose dog was off-leash and dove straight into the water thinking it was going to play in some nice cool water. The poor guy went into the water after his dog to try and save it, but they both died (after his friend also went in to try to save him but failed).
I feel bad for the dog. Owner should have protected him with a leash. How sad.
@@KMx108 I actually think the dog escaped from his car, not that he was off-leash because of negligence, If I remember correctly.
@@LeBimbo that's even worse
The dog was his friends and be jumped it in after it, the poor guys eyes were so white after it looked like they were boiled. A bystander tried to take off his shoe but stopped when he saw he was peeling off the skin around it as well. Rest in Peace to him and the Dog. ❤
That’s the worst story ever
I saw a tourist jump the rail at a sulfur pit in Yellowstone a few years back, she was trying to get a picture. My brother and I found and told a park ranger, she was talking to some people but when we told her she BOOKED it. I’ve never seen a public safety officer move so fast in my life😂
This IS NOT a theme park. Respect
Everything is a theme park these days. Look at Everest or Titanic for examples. I would not be surprised to see the USS Arizona turned into an underwater VRBO in my lifetime.
The state wants to shut it down because of these people
Pretend that you are at a zoo and not the petting type!
Or a petting zoo. And didn't some bright spark dissolve himself in one of the pools a few years ago?
clearly it is
A park ranger was once asked why they didn’t make trash cans tougher for bears to get into. His response: “There’s significant overlap between the smartest bears and dumbest humans.”
makes zero sense. nice try

I was fortunate enough to go to a high school that had a program about teaching outdoor skills and respect for nature. We would do a 2 week backpacking trip in a high alpine area learning how to survive for 2 weeks in nature carrying everything you needed on your back. It changed me for the better. I feel like more schools should be teaching this sort of stuff, especially inner city kids, young people in tune with nature are less likely to be troubled.
Nice. Parents can do it.
@@Coe1303Assuming the parents are actually willing or able. Not every child is so lucky as to have a guardian who cares enough (or even has the physical/financial ability or knowledge) to do something like that. If we’re going to fund a public education system (and we are, regardless of how well (or not) it is operated), we ought to prioritize teaching kids basic, essential respect for the world we live in. The schools somehow find the cash for new athletics equipment/uniforms/travel every year, after all. 🙄
Good luck trying to teach today's youth how to survive.....
Without their phones!!! 😂😂😂
@@sweeptheleg.And who gave them those phones? They dont just spawn em!
Interestingly, there’s a program in the UK, where I am, called “the Duke of Edinburgh award” and its all about literally that. It’s designed for people ranging from 14 to 24 years old and includes going on camping expeditions into national parks, teaching navigation, facts about nature and respecting the wild. You can earn bronze, silver and gold rewards for the activities you do and this can be accepted as a form of qualification for certain career paths.
I love how people put themselves in stupid situations and then act like the victim
Seems like something a stupid person would do though.

@@CatWhisperer570well that’s racist
She runs away yelling its hot. What a genius. Good thing she warned everyone. ♨️
Surprised she didn’t sue the park for leaving scalding hot water just laying around.
She's doing her own research. How else can you know if them science people aren't lying to yous?
The guy that moved that baby boson actually saved it from drowning
She could have replicated the experiment at home in her kitchen...
There is a reason your supposed to stay on the wood walkway. The soil-crust next to the thermo pools can be very fragile. I have been to Yellowstone many times and it’s really not very difficult to not get into trouble. Just don’t do stupid shit.
Surely all of this steam rising from the water means it’s just really cool and refreshing in there!
I can't believe humanity has lasted this long...

who would expect that?
Tourist touches "Hot spring" and is shocked to find it is actually hot.
@@Novusodcome on now guys hindsight is 20/20 😂
“Very hot!”
Not only is it hot, it's caustic. Surprised she didn't lose her dipped body parts.
She could have easily thought the 'bubbles' were natural effervescence, if not for, you know, all the signs telling her it's hotter than fuck.
When a child is told “don’t touch, it’s hot” one can understand they might not understand the meaning of hot. When an adult ignores the warning, it is nothing but stupidity.
You mean the warning of it being a HOT spring and is smoking. I have no sympathy for idiots … I hope it burned her finger off.
Makes you wonder how people like this actually survived to adulthood with such astoundingly poor common sense.
the only thing weird about that story is they didnt have a stupid friend that pushed em in
It is worse than stupid. It is willful ignorance. They know and understand the signs. They choose not to believe the truth. Much like Trump supporters.
You can even see that that water is hot.....I mean she could have looked up the temperature in less than a minute on Google.
Yellowstone is also an active geothermal area with hot springs emerging at ~92°C (~198°F) (the boiling point of water at Yellowstone's mean altitude) and steam vents reported as high as 135°C (275°F).
She spend more time trying to feel the temp with her hand...
Unbelievable.
These are our sacred places. Treat them with respect.
i bet that she wont believe in nothing else then things with a Cross!
Every body of water is sacred to one culture or another, and we all swim, fish, boat, and often pee in them. There are many sacred hot pools all over the world, and if they are safe, we swim in them. Touching water isn't really disrespectful, and she wasn't being disrespectful of the water's sanctity, it's just that it's boiling hot and if she fell in she might die.
@@mho... oh shut up you spiritual lyrical miracle ignoramuses
As a local, I ask that you please do not stop people from touching these pools nor these buffalo. Make sure you film it though, and post it publicly.
As I watched this I could just hear my dad yelling "Don't help them they'll never learn that way" lol
These people don’t realize that if they slipped in, or were submerged, they’ll die right there. Help is too far away. It’s happened to a man that went in after his dog, all around sad and preventable situation. Some of the poor guy’s last words were knowing it was stupid and going in for her anyway, and regretting. Though that may have been the mud pits.
I like your dad. He sounds like my dad.
Social media is taking care of stupid people, one selfie at a time
Lol are we siblings?
😂
It’s scary how truly disconnected people are from nature.
Not just from nature, but from reality...
I agree!!!! Unreal how ignorant they are
How can one be "disconnected" from nature...while they are in actual, direct contact with nature?
BTW, did you post this from your couch, on your "smartphone", inside of your residence??
Or were you blogging from your tent, on a mountain top, in the middle of the wilderness??
Try again....use your words.
@@codymoe4986 no need for the misplaced passive aggressive anger, especially when just starting a conversation lol. The disconnect I’m talking about is the clear lack of exposure to the elements. That doesn’t mean you can’t have basic shelter or basic human needs to survive. I was simply commenting on the fact that people think these animals would love your company. Most people don’t know how to build a fire, find water (let alone know proper purification methods) hunting is a dying skill, and almost nobody knows how to land nav. An no. I’m commenting from the comforts of my house… “try again”.

yes she is, I watched this video and straight up said to myself, that woman is special needs, she has autism. It is obvious to me, if you know what to look for.
That bison is having a laugh, it knows what tourists are and how to mess with them.
Reminds me of that dude that went off the trail to go skinny dipping in restricted area of the park and ended up dissolved in the bottom of the hot spring 💀
Omg
I just commented that, but you covered it as well. That volcanic acid in the water is easy to smell too.

"it's hot!!!"
Yes...its called a hot spring for a reason
I remember when I was 12 years old we traveled to see the Grand Canyon and were sitting at one of the beautiful lookout points. I was really into drawing at the time so was sitting there for 20 mins or so doing a sketch of the landscape. There was a metal barrier around the edge of the cliff and at least a 300-400 foot drop off below. While I was finishing up an Asian family walked up towards the front and told their 2 young kids to hop over the barrier to get a picture of them next to the edge. As they posed together their parents were looking through their camera and kept telling them to take a step back. At this point people started yelling at them to stop but the parents kept looking through the camera lens motioning for their kids to keep moving back. As the girl tried to take another step back with no ground there she began to lose her balance and her brother grabbed her right before she fell off the edge, no doubt would have been to her death. My dad (and a few others) ran up and grabbed their dad by the collar and told him to stop looking through his F’ing camera and pay attention to the Do Not Cross Barrier signs. They didn’t speak English and acted put off that people were screaming at them…not realizing how close they came to killing their kids for a photo. I imagine the lady in the video posing for a photo while touching the bison grew up in a family like this.
They were probably trying to rid themselves of the kids
They tend to be insufferable Chinese tourists.
@@TwoAcresandaMulethat’s what I’m thinking. You don’t have to know English to understand DANGER/HAZARD SIGNAGE
@@PrettyDope I think we should remove all warning labels and let Darwinism run it`s course ;) People that deserve to live will understand that a 150m / 400ft drop is deadly without any signs saying so...
Similar thing happened years ago when i was around 10 years old..it was at waterfall area it has a huge drop and water running quite fast..my father wanted to take a picture and instruct me to go near a ledge. It was wet and slippery, i protest but got scolded. Try to be brave and do it..after the photo taken i slip almost fall down the ledge had i not cling tightly to a rock. Eventho it wasnt movie scene danger, it was terrifying experience. But i still got scolded after tht because apparently i didnt careful enough..ya my father is a dick and yes we are SEA family
I first visited Yellowstone back in 1969 when I was around 6. My mom, worried I would run off and burn myself, too a length of rope and tied it to my belt and held onto it like a leash. Folk thought my mom was silly. I know my mom was smart and I loved her for that reason.
No your mom seems very off
@@TheInfantry98no, she started a trend of protecting children that no longer exists.
@@TheInfantry98They used to make vests with a leash attached to it so you could keep children from running off. My mother had one for me in the 70s because I would just run off wherever. She stopped using it before I turned five. She told me about it. She only used it when we went somewhere crowded, and I don't remember her ever using it, so it didn't do any damage to me, and it kept me from running off and getting hurt or kidnapped.
I have heard so many criticisms of parents who use the leashes. If you have ever lost a young child in a crowd, you know how fast it can happen. It's a heart-stopping and terrifying experience. I loved my little ones enough to do whatever was necessary to keep them safe. Keep the ignorant criticisms to yourselves.
Kids have fallen/slipped off those walkways and into the scalding water. All were burned, some of them died. Given that, along with how impulsive some kids can be & the fact that they typically don’t anticipate danger I think a rope or keeping them in a stroller seems like a good idea to me.
I clicked on this video already chuckling 😂
Simply a sign of the times.
She is the reason we have warning labels
😂😂😂😂😂😂
She is the reason we should get rid of warning labels
Then she went home and tried to iron her shirt while wearing it.
It's the parks and rec scene in real life: ruclips.net/video/Hyc1aMtnHJo/видео.htmlsi=DcRR-EZqaCVxq0vr
The problem is that people like her DISREGARD the warning labels. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't have warning labels. Don't fall into that trap. Warning labels are important and many people pay attention to them and stay safe because of it.
Those 200 degree hot springs are no joke, I've read so many stories over the years of people falling in and suffering agonizing deaths. One guy's dog fell in and the guy went after him despite people telling him not to. Died of terrible burns soon afterwards. Another girl fell in, was pulled out with horrible burns over her entire body, went into shock, and died in agony the next day. The people who treated her had to be treated for PTSD. And those are just 2 examples. NEVER leave the walkways in Yellowstone if you value your life.
Are you read so many stories have you okay you f****** idiot... Sometimes we just need to thin the herd and you're one of them
I did not know it got that hot
@@ruthann2051 I actually made a mistake with the number, its actually around 200 F, about the same as boiling water. 350 F in the deepest parts of the lake.
@@ruthann2051 Ever pass a chemistry class???
Actually, unfortunately, the gentleman who tried to save his dog was seen again. He got pulled out, people who helped also got burned, and he is quoted as saying "that was stupid, why did I do that" . I can't remember if he died before he made it to the hospital or after but I just remember that tragic ending. He had horrific burns. Instinct to save a dog trumping logic, in a couple seconds 2 lives are lost. Awful
The reason it's not rolling boil because all the impurities increases the boiling point. So it's hotter than regular boiling water.
I LOVE the people getting their phones out and recording this and just saying "stupid" while waiting for the consequences to happen
I’ve been to Yellowstone one time in my life in 2008. I will never forget watching two tourists hike up a hill toward a grizzly bear with its cubs nearby and thinking about how absolutely stupid they were. Everyone was yelling at them not to get close and they were probably less than 30 yards away from the the grizzly when it stood up on its hind legs and then the tourists finally turned around. I was only 8 years old when I watched this happen and I knew well enough how stupid these people were being and how dangerous bears are. Luckily my family and I didn’t witness a gruesome bear attack that day but I learned a valuable lesson about how some folks are so mind-numbingly stupid that an 8 year old child has more common sense than them.
Thats a great lesson to have at 8 years old. I learned many stupid lessons the hard way
What a story
I had the exact same experience when we visited in 2008. We went a little up the hill just to see what was going on and when we saw a bear we came down. I really didn't want to see a mauling.
That speaks volumes
You had good parents!
I am so glad that woman has an encouraging husband to help her put her hand in the water. Very supportive.
Very supportive. They should have jumped in holding hand. #goals amirite 😂😂

@@hermionegardener3796ok bro you didn’t have to take it there

I was waiting for him to kick her in it 😂
The way she ran away like she was shocked to discover it was in fact scalding hot
I think those people should hear about the 2016 Yellowstone Acid Bath incident tbh.
Visited geysers in Iceland. Tour guide told us the water is so hot that it would burn the flesh and nerves off so fast your nerves wouldn’t be able to register the pain until it was much too late.
Same for the hot springs. Very acidic and very hot - it used to be hotter, but people were throwing trash in the hot springs and altered the makeup of the hot spring
loved iceland such a beautiful country
Oh, like dry ice kinda. Takes a good 30 minutes for the pain to hit.
Yeah most geysers form super saturated steam that can be well above boiling point, and once it comes out to normal atmospheric pressure it pretty much instantly dumps all that excess hear energy right into you.
But yet stupidity reigns. Idiot. 😡
Poor innocent bison. Leave them alone 🦬 ❤
I wish he would have kept going.
It really angers me how disrespectful these people are.
I feel so bad for the baby bison. That man should have criminal charges pressed against him for endangering wildlife, and whatever else might apply. His stupid, thoughtless, and selfish actions caused that baby bison to lose its life. Stupid human.
@@SophieMia806 he DID- he was arrested and charged with intentionally disturbing wildlife. Sadly only a misdemeanor offense and he got away with a $500 fine.
@@SophieMia806 We are so fixated on hating.
the sad part was the baby bison was drowning in the water so he tried to save it but the herd abandoned it so they had to put it down
I recall a book called Death in Yellowstone, it describes this behavior has been going on since the parks inception. At least they didn’t jump in the hot spring
Back in the early days of the park, they didn't have all the walk ways and rails and signs warning people. You could just walk right up to this stuff and kill yourself from not knowing it was dangerous, and people often did just that. They got sucked into the hot mud pools, boiled in the springs, died from inhaling fumes, you name it.
Before I went to Yellowstone I researched everything about the park!
ITS NOT JUST IGNORANCE.....ITS PRIVILEGE AND ENTITLEMENT

I literally just watched a video about Collin Scott, who was also doing something he shouldn't have been doing, and fell into the hot springs at Yellowstone. They couldn't obtain his remains after the heat killed him, so his body dissolved into the water, due to the heat and acidity.

I was at the grand canyon and this younger guy stood literally on the edge to have his picture taken. A member of his party was pleading for him to get away from the edge. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to trip."
I chimed right up, "The last guy that fell off the cliff said exactly that."

There’s a reason why it’s called HOT spring.
There needs to be more regulations and harsher laws on tourist stupidity and disrespect towards preserved land and animals. Absolutely despicable the way these parks are treated like playgrounds by some people. I’ve witnessed it firsthand
I remember years ago a couple enraged, just mad as hell at a park ranger. As they passed us we were entering the walkway as they were leaving clutching their dog, you could hear them cussing, swearing to contact his supervisor, etc. When we passed the only ranger we saw we asked him what happened. They had their dog in their hands, no leash, and he said animals are not allowed, they got mad and he tried to explain that a year or so prior a family’s dog jumped in a hot spring, started yelping, the kid jumped in to save his dog, and the father jumped in to help him, and all three died. The couple were not pleased at not being able to let fluffy walk.
so....they'd prefer to at least lose the dog,and possibly themselves?
yay darwin
@@bloodlove93 - It seemed they were just mad at being told their dog wasn’t allowed. I’m guessing they had been before and it was allowed. I didn’t hear the initial encounter, just the aftermath. 🤷🏼♂️

@@misguidedangel6550like there can only be one dog story in the history of humanity and ONLY you know how to tell it.
My family witnessed the same thing while at Yellowstone a few years ago. We watched a young lady with a family step off of the wooden boardwalk and walk to the crusty edge of a hot springs and stick her finger in. We told the family who was with a group about the dangers, but our caution was disregarded. There are signs everywhere warning of the temps and that some springs are acidic. Luckily a Park Ranger was nearby and yelled at the young lady to get back on the boardwalk possibly saving her life. We also witnessed while in a bear Traffic Jam, two young men in their 20's -30's running away from the roadway and the protection of their vehicle, out into an open field towards a couple grizzly bears to get better photos. There's an old saying, "common sense isn't that common" and you will see examples of this time and time again in YSNP.
Were you hoping to see those 2 just get vaporized from Daaaa Bears or what?
Didn’t some guy fall into geyser at Yellowstone
@@inquisitvem6723 yeah. His sister recorded the whole thing but the video has been scrubbed from the internet.
@@beingqueen2472 I probably could find it if I dug hard enough, but i really don’t want to see it.☠️
YSNP is definitely a hot spot for losing common sense. Pun intended btw.
There was a time when the strongest survived, and now we got these people.
There’s such a sense of entitlement that accompanies the ignorance, like the rules of national parks and such don’t apply when you want a cool selfie or chance to test the waters. Just hop the fence, approach, touch and/or feed wild animals, litter, take souvenirs, etc. Because if you want it, that’s way more important than however every visitor’s expected to behave (emphasis on visitor - not owner).
Let them do it and win Darwin awards!
A few years ago at Yellowstone a stupid tourist got into one of those springs, and the only thing that they found of his, was his backpack and a few of his bones in the water. That baby bison could have been sent to an animal sanctuary, but instead they chose to murder the poor baby, this is exactly I don't care very much for most people.

My tax dollars say I own it and as an owner I say it's perfectly okay if you want to test scalding hot water or mess with wild life. Let that shit sort itself out on its own.
@NiceShootinTex you are exactly the kind of low IQ dumbass we need to protect our National Parks from.
Breaking News:
Hot springs are indeed HOT 🔥🔥🔥
I think she was testing the more philosophical question of whether or not the water was wet.
Great for cooking a can of beans when you're out of firewood.
Just make sure to pop a vent hole in the can first.
I thought hot springs were places with hot water that people chilled in?
Wutta dummy 🤦🏻♀️
Oh my god it’s freaking common sense it’s HOT ya j@ck@sses!!!
They look like a couple of druggie hillbillies 🤡🤡
I thought some hot springs u can take bath in
Ngl my intrusive thoughts would have won this one 😂😂😂😅
1:19 "Is that bison safe?" "Well he's a lot safer than you are..."
I like that: you are the guest in nature. Yes!!
I remember hearing about a guy who attempted this a few years ago. The spring was not only hot, but also acidic. He fell in and freaking DISSOLVED.
Oh and remember the guy who let his pup run free near the springs? The pup jumped in the hot spring thinking it friendly pool of cool water. Well the poor pup dissolved. Then his owner jumped in to save him. The owner also dissolved.
Why are people so eager to become a human bouillon cube? Once was enough, but this has happened way too many times than should be normal.
@@kellyellez5224 Oops.
Dissolved? I never heard that. However I did hear about the man who got in trouble trying to cook a chicken in the springs!
@@kellyellez5224..
The intrusive thoughts won LMAO😂
Jabba was just putting chicken fingers in there like it was a deep fryer.
All 3 of her brain cells worked together for that tik tok skit.
I remember reading about some guys dog that jumped into the hot springs. He jumped in after his yelping dog.. people tried to stop him. Nothing could save the dog, it died after he got his dog out.
However the guy had sustained burns over all of his body and couldn't be saved.
He died a slow and agonizing death.
About 22 people since 1870 have died from scalding hot springs. The stories about the dogs and their owners is true.
😢😢
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
His last words after rescuing his dog were, "Was that stupid?
I don't think I could just leave my dog to die like that, but I'm stupid like that too.
He was so burned all the skin from the palm of his hand sloughed off when he grabbed a rock after getting out.
This is the equivalent of your mom telling you the pot is “Hot on the bottom” and you still grab it from the bottom 🙄
Charles Darwin to Death: "Check your beeper, I think you got work"
a lady pulled into a gas station in Alaska and had water dripping out of her car's trunk, She opened it up and the service station attendant saw she had a large chunk of glacier ice in the trunk, she said, wow! that glacier was frozen for a 1000 years and it picked now to melt??
Wow!
Ugh...
😂😂😂😂
“We are all born ignorant. But one must work hard to be stupid.” And in defense of this woman, yes, that is true. She tried & tried to worm her way to the edge, just to make sure……yup. It’s hot.
I guess the incredible steam it produces wasn't enough proof!
How thoughtful of her to loudly announce it to the other guests who were clearly smart enough to stay in the designated area.
My intrusive thoughts get the best of me as well 😂
Without these brave souls in history, we would never know what plants are toxic
😂😂😂😂 this is so true
Bwahahahahaha!

I absolutely love this comment 😂
I was thinking about that the other day as I was eating a mango. Fleshy outside tastes horrid but inside so delicious. I could imagine lots of trial and error to get to us eating what we eat today. Love your comment ❤
Warning ⚠️ Your finger is not a thermometer!
There is a reason why there are clinics at every major stop is Yellowstone. The most common injury treated in the park, with thousands of cases every year, are burns. Most of which are on the index finger. Something I learned while working there for a season (Anyone who is interested, Delaware North is the company that handles hiring people to work at a number of national parks). I loved it there, even with the, not so smart, tourists that frequent the park.
Fun Fact: Yellowstone is one of the few places on the planet to see a lunar rainbow. The boardwalks are open all night so anyone can check it out. Saw one, it was amazing!
🌕 🌈🌊
Hadn't heard of lunar rainbows before -- thanks for sharing such a fun fact!
I don't know, worked well for her.
Do people seriously forget that they're on the mouth of a very BIG volcano and the reason why the water is boiling hot is because the magma deep below the ground superheats the water like it's a gigantic chef's pot , the park has a walking path fenced off specifically for keeping people safe from the boiling hot water. ALSO it's called a Hotspring for a reason.....it's HOT!!!
People need to get a reality check,and stop being obsessed with social media.
Imagine seeing steam coming off the water IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER and thinking, “Yeah. I should touch that.” If there is steam IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUMMER, that means the water is significantly hotter than the air through which it’s evaporating. She’d have got what she was asking for if she’d pitched in face-first.
The water is extremely hot and acidic hot but doesn't really look that way in person. Sure they're bubbling but you can't tell they're like 200F by the naked eye. So I can see why stupid people want to do something stupid like put your hand in. Even though that water is sulfuric and will quickly dissolve it
@@NameSpaceVoidThere are lots of RUclips experts don't mind them in real life they'd be the first ones to do what they criticize 😂
I was hoping!
@@NameSpaceVoid
Good sense would tell you if it bubbling, it is very close to boiling point.
@@Krullerizedwell fuck bro you should do some research on where your going. Might as well learn it's a geothermal Hotspot and you should be careful with random water pools. Even if you can't care enough to see what your vacation will be like you should read the signs and fenc3s before you go touching jumping into shit.
A few years ago, 2016, Colin Scott visiting Yellowstone claimed the hot springs were not nearly as hot as the warnings state and he would prove it. He slipped and fell head first into one of the pools while trying to check its temperature. His body was never recovered...it dissolved.
Always one
His sister actually had it all on video too.
People just need to hear about that story tbh.
People can be so dumb.
He’s the kid who ate paste in school. Lol
ER. Two letters you visit and/or wake up in after saying phrases such as, "hold my beer," and, "film me doing this."
"I just wanted to see if THIS scalding water is as hot as the scalding water I have at home. How was I to know it's just as hot as the scalding water I usually test by sticking my hand into it?".
To begin with, you can literally fall through the ground near these hot springs. They ground may look solid, but sometimes it isn't which is why they warn you to stay on the boardwalks.
Also, the park gets millions of visitors a year. The wooden walkways also protect the ground & plants from erosion and damage.
And make sure that you are safe where you are stepping. The ground in Yellowstone is full of possible hidden volcanic spots (like pockets of heated sulphuric gas, etc) so if you go off the path in some spots you might be stepping into something quite dangerous.
Geologists die in Yellowstone exploring the park for scientific purposes…geologists…let that sink in…these guys cannot predict what is underneath the ground they can see and fall through into unknown hot springs! Those boardwalks in Yellowstone are _not_ there to protect the plants and the hot springs, they’re really there to protect _us._
It takes like ten minutes out of ur day to watch a mr.ballen video about hot springs.
People trying to get their invites to the darwin awards lol
One thing they warn you about is that the land surrounding the hot springs might actually be a thin shelf of "land" that you can break through. You do not want to break through the crust and land in scalding acid. You can't even get back up onto the "land" as it just crumbles under you.
Nope, nope, nope. Stay on the boardwalk. Even the lady that ran off the boardwalk because she got to close to the bison might have fallen into a pool or broken through the not-very-sold land.
MEH, if the bison can walk around just fine, they’ll probably be fine.
That's scary. Like opposite ice sheeting
The bison are smart enough to know to avoid the scalding ponds of terrible smelling water.
In the immortal words of Nelson…”Ha! Ha!”
The title: When you let your intrusive thoughts win
A tourist girl tried to pick up a squirrel and I warned her that it’ll bite and she didn’t listen and got bit. I laughed my ass off.
I still don't understand how we are not extinct yet..
We just need to get rid of warning signs so we can weed out the stupid people of the world. The rest of us would be better off without them
😅😅😅
I agree with you 100%……….
🤦♀️ Stupidity at its finest!
As a hunter, people’s stupidity in nature these days is driving me nuts.
Frankly, I think it’s hours be made a law that if your stupid around the animals, no commons sense around the thermals/boiling acidic pools, and just not using your brain….
It’s 100% your fault.
I am 100% on the animals side when people are stupid.
🤓 A lot of us are.
Four species of human are
They are super lucky going off the boardwalk by these hot springs that they didn’t fall through ground that was only a thin crust. Those boardwalks are not just there to look pretty…professional _geologists_ exploring Yellowstone have _died_ not realizing that a hot spring had eroded all the ground below them away except for the very top layer.
Hey now, this is a comment section for hate, not logic or about safety. Get with the program lol.
