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 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😂
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.
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.
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).
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. ❤
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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 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.
@@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. 🙄
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.
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”.
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).
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.
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
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.
There’s those that have to see and touch everything in nature and those that just leave nature in peace. The difference of these two human groups is enormous. One is smarter than the other.
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 💀
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.
@@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.
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
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. Sometimes, nature truly does find a way.
@@Squirrel_22 yes this is real. His sister tried to help him butt couldnt and ran to get help but by the time help got to him. He basicially melted into spring. Both of them hopped fences to get to the spot
I'm so old , I remember the very first time someone sued McDonald's in the 80s because the coffee burned them when it spilled. From that point on , every single coffee cup now says , caution ..contents hot. 🙄
I work and live in the Grand Canyon and the amount of idiots who speed through the roads and try to get close to the animals or step over the railings by the canyon for a photo is a higher percentage than I would’ve expected. The sense of entitlement is up there as well. It’s a national park not Disneyland.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
When my son was 2 or 3…Yes, he was very fluent for his age…he said something quite profound that I’ve never forgotten…and I quote, “People mess everything up”
My dad never really gave much advice to me as I grew up. But he did toss out one gem that remains true each day. “Be careful, people are crazy and people are stupid…”

@@AConquerorsVendettaThey were saying that a hundred, thousand years ago, humanity is far too annoyingly adaptive to die out in the way you want it to.
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.
People don't understand, you fall/jump in one of those Yellowstone springs- a very quick but painful death. Pools are also very acidic, and the bodies are often not recovered. Recently a foot and shoe was found from someone that went in a couple years back
The last 30 - 40 years morons have been allowed to breed. Politicians have encouraged it. They need voters. Problem is those that HAVE common sense have to live with these morons…
Freedom is taken by force. She exercised her freedoms of mobility and expression. She pursued her happiness. You’re just mad because you’d be too scared to touch it.
@@tiffanyeyoung1800 I’d rather be called that than leave a two word reply that shows how low your intelligence and reading comprehension is. You should learn the definition of colonization, that’s something you should learn in elementary vocabulary.
“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.
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.
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._
Why? Who's the victim to this "crime" other than her? She's a victim of her own stupidity. If she does it again...well, who cares? She wins the Darwin award. Toddlers only have to touch a hot stove once to learn.
I've been to Yellowstone several times... it's magnificent. Always given a handful of leaflets at entry that warn people, in several languages, about the very real, very deadly consequences of non-compliance. I'm surprised that I'm surprised by how ignorant humans continue to be, even when cautioned explicitly.
There are also signs at the really dangerous features, written in multiple languages with graphic depictions of what will happen to you if you enter the hot springs. I didn’t see anybody doing this type of stupidity while in Yellowstone. We got lucky and saw 10 bears in one day. It was awesome but we stayed at a safe distance and stayed in the car for many of the sightings. I witnessed lots of dumb people getting way to close to several of those bears. People purposefully heading down trails towards the bears or out in open fields with the bears. All to get a closer look or a better photo. We were smart and brought binoculars. I also saw people getting way to friendly with the buffalo. People are dumb! I’m often surprised humanity has survived to this point.
Americans are notoriously bad about going to other countries and destroying historic artifacts. Not to mention going to another country and telling the locals they should learn to speak English.
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.
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
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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! 🌕 🌈🌊
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." Guy gave a nervous laughter, but moved in 2 feet from the edge. Morons.
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.
@@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. 🤷🏼♂️
Your telling the story wrong. It was 2 men and a dog. The dog jumped in and the dogs owners friend jumped in after the dog and he died a few hours later in hospital
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.
It was drowning :/ cut the guy some slack. They didn't mention that in this segment because it doesn't fit the narrative they're pushing. I'm sure the park had a lot of options available too besides euthanasia such as trucking the little fella to a rehabilitation center but chose to delete it's save file because that was the easiest way or because of some arbitrary operating protocol.
@@brent3611yeah, the bison guy story was presented with no context. The calf had gotten separated from its herd and was unable to swim across the river. The guy was attempting to save it. Probably would have died anyway, and maybe he shouldn't have interfered, but he tried to help it.
This is stupidity and entitlement. People think they can do whatever they want, then want to blame everyone else when they get hurt. She needs to be fined.
She was probably hoping to get burned so she could sue the park with some ridiculous claim, but didn't realize she was being filmed. The rest if the idiots just need to be banned from here. The man that moved baby bison needs jail time and a huge fine.
@@tobiusholmes2344 The bison calf had probably been rejected by its mother and was already doomed, according to the rangers. (They first spotted it several hours before the incident.) Which still doesn't excuse the guy and his friend.
Clifford Walters was trying to save a struggling newborn bison when he made a sudden decision to push it up from a riverbank in Yellowstone National Park. He tried to help and gets punished instead. Just goes to show, no good deed goes unpunished. He was fined $500 fine, $500 to yellowstone foundation and $40 other fees. The calf had already been abandoned by the herd before Clifford was ever involved.
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.
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 ❤
Coddling. They should do a challenge where when youre 18 you have to cross 10 miles of forrests and survive for weeks. If you can't so be it. The winners will be actual contributions
We went last month and it was just embarrassing at the amount of idiots out in the park. It made us not want to go back again. It was a bucket list thing to see but we were over the dumbass people.
Go after the "idiot season" is over. Go to the areas of the park that are not popular, like the Warm River area in the southwest corner that is accessable only from the Teton Valley in Idaho. Especially, go in Winter when the snowmobile tours and Snowcoach tours are the only way to get in there and the Park is incredibly beautiful. You don't have to go when or where the fools are.
I honestly don't like national parks because of all the stupid tourists, and prefer National Forests/wilderness areas instead. It just sucks since all the best geological formations are in the national parks.
I'm Canadian Now i don't know if it was because i was raised proper Or have more than half a brain. I have traveled to the tomb of the unknown soldier I was quiet And respectful. cleaned up after myself while camping And left the wild life alone Obeyed the laws And had a blast while in the states..And Omg Chicken And waffles ...love it
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.
@loganmalough2379 "Adults always follow and obey rules"??? What kind of fantasy land do you live in? You are not sharing this reality with me. That's for sure.
It's at the point now where almost every day there is a new story. I hate to say it but maybe we have to start limiting tourists at Yellowstone. Only guided tours, or something. This park is beyond a national treasure. It's vitally important and I am so tired of seeing how much we take it for granted. It sucks that people with brains and reason would suffer as a result but that's the way things go when the few stupid outweigh the rest of us. Those adults that somehow find their way inside a tiger enclosure and get eaten alive. The guy that had his arm ripped off by a bear because he stuck it in the fence. The woman that was devoured by a lioness in an African park because she wanted to get a better picture. I'm an extremely empathetic person normally, sometimes to my own detriment, but I can't find any sympathy for people like that. And it's even worse when the animal gets killed because of it.
I don't think more restrictions are the way to go. I think going in the opposite direction would be better, as in making sure people know the dangers and then letting them do their own thing (as long as they don't damage the park itself that is). If someone wants to do something dangerous you aren't going to stop them, but the consequences and responsibility should also be theirs. It's not the park's fault they were hurt.
@NiceShootinTex Problem isn’t if Darwin’s dice take care of the idiots, no loss to the rest of us there for sure. But sadly that’s not always the only consideration, like with that poor bison calf, for example. Or the people who climb the Mayan ruins when the archeologists, highly rained experts, have said that so much foot traffic is literally making them crumble. I’m generally all for for less regulation, myself. But when these idiots ruin priceless things for the rest of us, I do think that definitely requires some kind of enforcement of law and order.
Absolutely not. I’m fucking over this bullshit of being punished because of others stupidity. Make the minimum fine $10,000 dollars and codify whereas you can’t ever get out of paying it. Cross a fence, act dumb around an animal, etc etc. Start truly hitting people in their wallets and they will begin to toe the line.
Sometimes the edge of those boiling holes are very fragile and thin. The crust can collapse under the weight of a person sending him/ her right into the boiling water. Be careful.
Here in western Australia they walk up to the very edge of the coastal cliffs at the blowhole in Albany and the wind basically lifts them off their footing and drops them 70 metres into the boiling ocean ...happens regularly despite all the signage
When the one trying to pet a bison jumped off the boardwalk, that was just as scary as the bison. Those arent just fields, there are very thin crusts over top of boiling hot springs out there! In some places you literally could fall through the ground and get boiled to death 😫
When my children were young I taught them that you stay on the sidewalks, you don't pick the neighbors flowers, and certainly not pick neighbors fruit. You see they started life on a farm wandering around picking what they wanted even out of the veggie garden . So when we moved to town they had to be taught Also if you don't even ask to touch stranger's dog why the heck would you touch a bison
I've had grown people walk up to my large dog and try to grab/pet him. He's not super friendly. They don't ask. They just feel entitled to invade his and my space and put their hands on him. It's part of the reason he is not very friendly because we both hate it. I mean it happens regularly and I constantly have to bark at grown people that just because my dog looks pretty doesn't mean they're entitled to do what they want with him. Common sense and courtesy are a dying breed.
@@co8008 I've had strangers in Target try to touch my 16 month old nephew as if he's not a complete fu***ng stranger! I don't get humans anymore, like when is it ok to just walk up to something/someone and just touch them?
@@co8008’m sorry, anecdotally, every person who has petted my lab (he likes most people and is friendly) has always asked first and sometimes asked about his temperament…I can’t imagine just petting somebody’s dog without asking.
We need to have better enforcement and more punishments for people doing stuff like this. I remember when I went to a national forest, people were leaving trash, blaring loud music and treating it like a party zone. These places should be respected and observed, not just somewhere cool to go hangout.
I often don't understand this, but why do people want her to be fined and stuff? Plenty of people do potentially dangerous things out of their own volition. I understand that by doing something dangerous you might be straining emergency services and such, or endangering people trying yo help you, but I still think it should mainly be your own choice.
Why? Who cares? If you don't understand other dipshits have died doing this that's 100% on you when nature punishes your stupidity. Some things take care of themselves.
@@kotzka4626 Dude it’s about entitlement, their lack of common sense, and a total disregard for abiding by what everyone else has to. Some laws and fines were created to keep people safe because we are our own worst enemies. National parks were created not thinking people were actually dumb enough to attempt feats or pure stupidity for their vanity or curiosity. Most people respect wildlife and understand it is a privilege to enjoy Americas national parks. We have them because other people maintain and care about wildlife reserves. “Leave no trace” is key to follow. That’s why it matters.
@kotzka4626 there's a huge difference between doing something stupid at home or on your land compared to doing stupid things at a national park. These lands are protected for a reason. Eventually people like this will completely ruin it for everyone else. Same as with camping and nomad life, many places you can't even go anymore because of dumb people like this who only care for themselves and trash places.
I always remember from a few years ago, the story of a guy and his sister who had gone hiking through the park. Evidently, while stepping off of the trail, onto the prohibited area, they had gotten a bit too close to those hydrothermal, multicolored hot springs, called 'paint pots'. The guy fell in to one of them and his sister ran for help. By the time the Park Rangers were able to get there, there was nothing left of the girl's unfortunate brother. He had been completely dissolved in the strongly alkaline thermal springs. It a shame. With zooms possible on everyone's phones, there are still folks that must literally fully experience a Yellowstone tour. Next up - going to pet a bear cub.

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 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

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.

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.

@@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.
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.

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.

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.
I clicked on this video already chuckling 😂
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.
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.
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."
Guy gave a nervous laughter, but moved in 2 feet from the edge. Morons.
It's almost as if people like that believe that the only people who ever trip are people who meant to...
And everyone clapped and cheered you

"it's hot!!!"
Yes...its called a hot spring for a reason
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. 🤷🏼♂️
Your telling the story wrong. It was 2 men and a dog. The dog jumped in and the dogs owners friend jumped in after the dog and he died a few hours later in hospital
@@misguidedangel6550 - My memory is good, what I said was what the ranger said.
@@misguidedangel6550like there can only be one dog story in the history of humanity and ONLY you know how to tell it.
Natural selection at its finest.
Amen to that
How? No one passed away from these incidents?
In the immortal words of Nelson…”Ha! Ha!”
I remember in 5th grade we went to a hot spring and some kids carried eggs to boil in the water. Core memory 😂
I grew up in the outskirts of Yellowstone. Nature is firm but fair.
You should've paid more attention. Nature is anything but fair.
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 bison story is so sad. People are just selfish. 😥
It's heartbreaking what happened to that calf. Worth a PUBLIC BUTT KICKING to the ignoramus who assumed rules are posted just to be annoying.
Not selfish, dumb.
It was drowning :/ cut the guy some slack. They didn't mention that in this segment because it doesn't fit the narrative they're pushing. I'm sure the park had a lot of options available too besides euthanasia such as trucking the little fella to a rehabilitation center but chose to delete it's save file because that was the easiest way or because of some arbitrary operating protocol.
@@stenh.6243 looks like the guy is posing for a selfie with it.
@@brent3611yeah, the bison guy story was presented with no context. The calf had gotten separated from its herd and was unable to swim across the river. The guy was attempting to save it. Probably would have died anyway, and maybe he shouldn't have interfered, but he tried to help it.
It’s quite LITERALLY so
scalding hot you can SEE the heat rising. Like come on people PLEASE GET IT TOGETHER.
"I dont know ranger. I was just takeing a selfie with this cute bear cub and the mother just over reacted."
Went to Yellowstone when I was 7. I wasn’t that stupid even then.
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!!!

All 3 of her brain cells worked together for that tik tok skit.
This is stupidity and entitlement. People think they can do whatever they want, then want to blame everyone else when they get hurt. She needs to be fined.
just looking at the two of them there, "stupidity and entitlement" indeed
.....they need to put up some/more "warning labels".
Totally agree. I've long thought that not only should they not be allowed to sue, but that should also be facing charges.
She was probably hoping to get burned so she could sue the park with some ridiculous claim, but didn't realize she was being filmed.
The rest if the idiots just need to be banned from here.
The man that moved baby bison needs jail time and a huge fine.
He got a huge fine.
That's all he got for being responsible for the death of that little baby bison? Man that is so fucked up! A little jail time would have been better.
@@tobiusholmes2344 The bison calf had probably been rejected by its mother and was already doomed, according to the rangers. (They first spotted it several hours before the incident.) Which still doesn't excuse the guy and his friend.
Clifford Walters was trying to save a struggling newborn bison when he made a sudden decision to push it up from a riverbank in Yellowstone National Park. He tried to help and gets punished instead. Just goes to show, no good deed goes unpunished. He was fined $500 fine, $500 to yellowstone foundation and $40 other fees. The calf had already been abandoned by the herd before Clifford was ever involved.
1:19 "Is that bison safe?" "Well he's a lot safer than you are..."
As the saying goes "YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID"
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.

The way she ran away like she was shocked to discover it was in fact scalding hot
Hey, never forget that the attitude of folks is "the world revolves around me for my pleasure..."
You can thank religion for that…
I hope the hot spring wasn’t hurt in the process!!!
I’ve grown up in montana so I’ve seen behavior like that a ton and it still blows me away when people don’t think whatsoever
Mother Nature, please take care of these folk 😊
How? How do these individuals managed to live this long, and not be dead?
Worse, they have children and they vote.
My ex always told me that God protects drunks and idiots that might be the answer
They live in cities.
Because modern society shields people. They wouldn’t have survived long 10000 years ago
Coddling. They should do a challenge where when youre 18 you have to cross 10 miles of forrests and survive for weeks. If you can't so be it. The winners will be actual contributions
We went last month and it was just embarrassing at the amount of idiots out in the park. It made us not want to go back again. It was a bucket list thing to see but we were over the dumbass people.
You could try visiting during off season . Fewer people and idiots in the park.
@@reynaldoflores4522 I mean we went at the end of May when the roads opened up. I figured it wouldn't be too bad compared to summer time.
@@reynaldoflores4522s 😊😊
Go after the "idiot season" is over. Go to the areas of the park that are not popular, like the Warm River area in the southwest corner that is accessable only from the Teton Valley in Idaho. Especially, go in Winter when the snowmobile tours and Snowcoach tours are the only way to get in there and the Park is incredibly beautiful. You don't have to go when or where the fools are.
I honestly don't like national parks because of all the stupid tourists, and prefer National Forests/wilderness areas instead. It just sucks since all the best geological formations are in the national parks.
I'm Canadian Now i don't know if it was because i was raised proper Or have more than half a brain.
I have traveled to the tomb of the unknown soldier I was quiet And respectful. cleaned up after myself while camping And left the wild life alone Obeyed the laws And had a blast while in the states..And Omg Chicken And waffles ...love it
I used to love watching tourists do this in Florida😱🤭🤣🤗
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
How do people like that make it so far in life…?
How the fuck do these ppl went to college and got a job?
Enablers. You can see there is a man helping her put her fingers in the hot spring. They also get the right to vote and drive cars. lol
@@mirandarobinson6005 AND they can procreate. Horrifying thoughts. At least with driving, you have to pass a test first.
Lawsuits and warning labels.
Give them a break, they just discovered fire a few days before so they just wanted to see if the hot springs will have the same burning sensation.
The amount of people breaking rules at Yellowstone is insane
"Rules" are becoming "suggestions" these days, it seems...
People just don't gaf nowadays.
Yeah. U are an adult! Adults always follow and obey rules! You are not a kid!
@loganmalough2379
"Adults always follow and obey rules"???
What kind of fantasy land do you live in? You are not sharing this reality with me. That's for sure.
The amount of rules is insane. If someone wants to stick their hand in boiling water let them.
It's at the point now where almost every day there is a new story. I hate to say it but maybe we have to start limiting tourists at Yellowstone. Only guided tours, or something. This park is beyond a national treasure. It's vitally important and I am so tired of seeing how much we take it for granted. It sucks that people with brains and reason would suffer as a result but that's the way things go when the few stupid outweigh the rest of us.
Those adults that somehow find their way inside a tiger enclosure and get eaten alive. The guy that had his arm ripped off by a bear because he stuck it in the fence. The woman that was devoured by a lioness in an African park because she wanted to get a better picture. I'm an extremely empathetic person normally, sometimes to my own detriment, but I can't find any sympathy for people like that. And it's even worse when the animal gets killed because of it.
I don't think more restrictions are the way to go. I think going in the opposite direction would be better, as in making sure people know the dangers and then letting them do their own thing (as long as they don't damage the park itself that is). If someone wants to do something dangerous you aren't going to stop them, but the consequences and responsibility should also be theirs. It's not the park's fault they were hurt.
@NiceShootinTex Problem isn’t if Darwin’s dice take care of the idiots, no loss to the rest of us there for sure. But sadly that’s not always the only consideration, like with that poor bison calf, for example. Or the people who climb the Mayan ruins when the archeologists, highly rained experts, have said that so much foot traffic is literally making them crumble. I’m generally all for for less regulation, myself. But when these idiots ruin priceless things for the rest of us, I do think that definitely requires some kind of enforcement of law and order.
There should be a test before hand. For I. Q.
@NiceShootinTex I agree with you
also we shouldnt allow couple of medically retard3d tourists ruin it for everyone else
Absolutely not. I’m fucking over this bullshit of being punished because of others stupidity.
Make the minimum fine $10,000 dollars and codify whereas you can’t ever get out of paying it. Cross a fence, act dumb around an animal, etc etc. Start truly hitting people in their wallets and they will begin to toe the line.
Sometimes the edge of those boiling holes are very fragile and thin. The crust can collapse under the weight of a person sending him/ her right into the boiling water. Be careful.
And she looked like she had enough weight to collapse it !
Here in western Australia they walk up to the very edge of the coastal cliffs at the blowhole in Albany and the wind basically lifts them off their footing and drops them 70 metres into the boiling ocean ...happens regularly despite all the signage
Be careful? Stay on the path and the HELL away from the pits. Duh!😮
She could have easily fallen in.
Just how exactly do you know this?
When the one trying to pet a bison jumped off the boardwalk, that was just as scary as the bison. Those arent just fields, there are very thin crusts over top of boiling hot springs out there! In some places you literally could fall through the ground and get boiled to death 😫
At that point, there's no body recovery. You just turn into soup and that's that, not even a casket.
They should make a walkway right down to the hot pools for these folk.
When my children were young I taught them that you stay on the sidewalks, you don't pick the neighbors flowers, and certainly not pick neighbors fruit. You see they started life on a farm wandering around picking what they wanted even out of the veggie garden . So when we moved to town they had to be taught
Also if you don't even ask to touch stranger's dog why the heck would you touch a bison
Apparently, for a selfie.
I've had grown people walk up to my large dog and try to grab/pet him.
He's not super friendly.
They don't ask. They just feel entitled to invade his and my space and put their hands on him. It's part of the reason he is not very friendly because we both hate it.
I mean it happens regularly and I constantly have to bark at grown people that just because my dog looks pretty doesn't mean they're entitled to do what they want with him.
Common sense and courtesy are a dying breed.
@@co8008 I've had strangers in Target try to touch my 16 month old nephew as if he's not a complete fu***ng stranger! I don't get humans anymore, like when is it ok to just walk up to something/someone and just touch them?
@@co8008’m sorry, anecdotally, every person who has petted my lab (he likes most people and is friendly) has always asked first and sometimes asked about his temperament…I can’t imagine just petting somebody’s dog without asking.
We need to have better enforcement and more punishments for people doing stuff like this. I remember when I went to a national forest, people were leaving trash, blaring loud music and treating it like a party zone. These places should be respected and observed, not just somewhere cool to go hangout.
😊
Absolutely!
Punishment for these people is clear. Injuries. Weather a burn loss of life or getting fired by the wild life. They get punished in the end.
They don't belong to you this was mayan land STFU

Whether*
I think the most terrible thing about all of this is the fact that people get away with it.
I often don't understand this, but why do people want her to be fined and stuff? Plenty of people do potentially dangerous things out of their own volition. I understand that by doing something dangerous you might be straining emergency services and such, or endangering people trying yo help you, but I still think it should mainly be your own choice.
Why? Who cares? If you don't understand other dipshits have died doing this that's 100% on you when nature punishes your stupidity. Some things take care of themselves.
@@kotzka4626 Dude it’s about entitlement, their lack of common sense, and a total disregard for abiding by what everyone else has to. Some laws and fines were created to keep people safe because we are our own worst enemies. National parks were created not thinking people were actually dumb enough to attempt feats or pure stupidity for their vanity or curiosity. Most people respect wildlife and understand it is a privilege to enjoy Americas national parks. We have them because other people maintain and care about wildlife reserves. “Leave no trace” is key to follow. That’s why it matters.
@kotzka4626 there's a huge difference between doing something stupid at home or on your land compared to doing stupid things at a national park. These lands are protected for a reason. Eventually people like this will completely ruin it for everyone else. Same as with camping and nomad life, many places you can't even go anymore because of dumb people like this who only care for themselves and trash places.
@@kotzka4626I'm just disappointed she didn't fall face first into the hot spring.
Charles Darwin to Death: "Check your beeper, I think you got work"
I always remember from a few years ago, the story of a guy and his sister who had gone hiking through the park. Evidently, while stepping off of the trail, onto the prohibited area, they had gotten a bit too close to those hydrothermal, multicolored hot springs, called 'paint pots'. The guy fell in to one of them and his sister ran for help. By the time the Park Rangers were able to get there, there was nothing left of the girl's unfortunate brother. He had been completely dissolved in the strongly alkaline thermal springs. It a shame. With zooms possible on everyone's phones, there are still folks that must literally fully experience a Yellowstone tour. Next up - going to pet a bear cub.
