this is what they do at ski resorts, though only in an indirect way (putting up crosses for ski patrollers that have died there). i worry all the time about whether all the "fun skiing" in-bounds is going to be ultimately subject to a similar fate for similar reasons. so far that hasn't been the case, because i think most sufficiently dangerous skiing is so self-evidently dangerous that people mostly know what they're getting into, but it still feels like a tenuous compromise.
ultimately, though, i agree with this. a sign saying "5 people died here" (maybe with w/e relevant contextual info) is the exact nature, and extent, of information that i think needs to be made clear to people.
