WEEKLY GROSS-OUT: Going off the trail

The National Park Service says an 18-year-old woman died on Thursday after falling 120 metres in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. The Park Service says she was a Yellowstone concession employee on her first day in the park. She was hiking a canyon trail with three other acquaintances when she ventured onto an off-trail promontory at a spot called Inspiration Point. As she explored the loose rock headland, it quickly gave way underneath her. This is why I don't take such stupid risks around nature. The trail was there for a reason, and she did a very stupid thing by not sticking to it. If I were her, I wouldn't have gone off trail, or at the very least, made sure the ground was safe. Maybe now people will be a lot more careful around nature.
