I highly suggest reading the book Death in Yellowstone: Accidents and Foolhardiness in the First National Park. It goes over a long history of really stupid people (along with some extremely sad stories) who have died in the park.
- yohui 9y agoI remember picking up that book from the gift store on my first trip through Yellowstone. Made for morbidly engrossing reading.

- sizzzzlerz 9y agoThere are similar books documenting deaths in both Yosemite and Grand Canyon. While a number of the deaths are accidents or wrong-place-wrong-time things most are caused by the person doing the dying. Example: those who chose to swim in the pool just above Nevada Falls in Yosemite and getting swept over the falls.
