--nobody has fallen into them [mine shafts] yet. To make them "completely" safe means close the park. This is the usual annual budget bleating--My guess would be that 99% of the visitors to Death Valley never get close to a mine shaft. Just those that explore the back country in a 4X4 and most of those have enough sense to stay out of old mine shafts.
