Didn’t some guy fall into a hot spring and get boiled to death there a couple of years ago?.................
Yes. Has happened in California as well.
“An Oregon man who died in June after falling into a boiling hot spring at Yellowstone National Park was looking for a place to “hot pot,” or soak in warm water, according to a final accident report.”
“3-year-old burned after running off Yellowstone trail, falling into thermal feature”
“23-year-old Colin Nathaniel Scott of Portland, Oregon, walked off the designated boardwalks in Yellowstone’s Norris Geyser Basin and fell into one of the park’s acrid, boiling hot springs. The water, some of the hottest in the park at approximately 199 degrees, likely killed him in a matter of moments.”
“David Kirwan, a 24-year-old from California. On July 20, 1981, his friend’s dog, Moosie, jumped into the Celestine Pool, a 202-degree spring. Kirwan, seeing the dog suffer, prepared to dive in. “Don’t go in there!” a bystander yelled. “Like hell I won’t!” Kirwan replied and dove head first into the water. He died the next morning of his burns.”
A woman, ignoring signs, walked off path, stuck her hand in the hot springs, and was injured earlier this year.
My daughter is currently working as a NPS ranger at Grand Tietons. Yellowstone has the volcanic features and the canyon; the Grand Tietons has the mountains.
