A 21-year-old North Carolina man suffered severe burns after falling into a hot spring Tuesday in Yellowstone National Park, officials said.
The National Park Service said Wednesday in a news release the incident occurred in the Lower Geyser Basin off Fountain Flat Drive, just north of the Old Faithful area.
Park officials said Gervais Dylan Gatete of Raleigh, an employee of park concessionaire Xanterra Parks and Resorts, was with seven other people when he fell into a spring.
Whoah ! You mean those springs are HOT? The park will get sued because he didn’t sign a disclaimer.😲
You mean child
My grandfather used to say your not a man till you turn 30.
Or
Become a Marine, which he was.
You have to be extremely adept at stupidity to have that happen. Reminds me of the rednecks last words: ya’all watch this!
Stay on the walkway? Bah, that’s for pussies.
He still fared better than that guy who slipped into a hot mineral spring that was extremely acidic. Pretty much melted before they could retrieve him.
When you see these pools the tendency is to want to stick your finger in to see how hot they really are.
Hey, doffo the stove er water is hot!
Last heard saying, “Here, hold my beer”.
Now he’ll get a new nickname: Stu.
Bet he was off trail too. There are signs EVERYWHERE telling you that it’s dangerous to walk off trail because the crust is fragile and could break through to boiling temperatures.
The trails get you pretty close to the action… no need to be stupid.
It’s getting to peak Bear season there too.. .so i’m sure they’ll be a story or two coming.
Don’t tell me.. Trying to take a selfie.
Happens every year now. Either people are getting stupider or the precious snowflakes don’t think the rules apply to them. We live near Crater Lake NP. Every year some dumb ass city boy falls (or drives) over the rim (1000 ft) and gets busted up. Just a matter of time before someone sues and they will have to put a fence around the whole thing.
Why go to Yellowstone to see stupid people doing stupid things? I can see that where I live and save the gas money.
“It’s getting to peak Bear season there too”
The only grizzly I’ve ever seen in the wild was just outside Yellowstone, west side, ten years ago this month. Big ass bear. Big.
Young seasonal employees at Yellowstone seem to do this on a fairly regular basis. Its a deadly mix of raging hormones, a sense of entitlement, omniscience and invincibility, and often alcohol and/or drugs. Stupidity grows exponentially when they are in groups.
nah, all of y’all got it wrong. It was longhaired filthy hippy who finally decided to take a bath to get rid of the eyewatering stench brought on by Liberalism.
A perfect example of a graduate of the public school system…..couldn’t/wouldn’t/didn’t read and obey the signs.
