Look at Yellowstone—do people really have to be told not to try to pet the bison or get a selfie?
If random reels that appear in my News Feed are representative, then, Yes, the fools do require constant exhortations to not be stupid. Unfortunately, the temptation of social media is stronger than any warning label.

I drove down to Nashville a couple of weeks ago. There was a sign in a truck stop bathroom showing people how to correctly wash their hands. I took a photo in case people don't believe me.

Driver's name wasn't Greg by chance?

Single vehicle accident. A hotel worker was killed at the same point about a decade ago when he walked backwards to snap a picture, fell off.

Back in 2006 I had a rented Jeep and during a storm, just up the path a rock came through our top.
About a month later, a bolder came down (same spot) and killed a driver.

Call me a control freak, but no way I would be a passenger in a vehicle with a stranger driving where a simple turn of the wheel means certain death.
So I guess train or air travel is out for you. Yes, that’s a textbook definition of a control freak.

Well, if it “rolled over” after running off a cliff I’m not sure that’s a Rollover accident. Either a tragic accident as a result of a medical issue or “stupid/ not paying attention. I’d hate to think it’s the latter, however as a Safety Engineer I made a darn good living for 45 years because people are fundamentally Stupid. Don’t believe me? Look at the warning labels on everything. “Caution: Do not use mower as a hedge trimmer”. Those are all there ‘ cause some moron DID?. In any event-very sorry for the families of those involved. Always a tragedy when folks are unexpectedly killed in an accident. Perhaps even more so when folks are on vacation and looking for an adventure,

Actually I’ve flown quite a few times this year. It’s never comfortable for me, but I do alright. Haven’t been on a train since I was a kid. Maybe it’s just cars..I’ve lost several friends in auto accidents.

3 rollovers done by the employees of this company in 8 months ? How are they still in business?
Because the first 2 claims are probably still pending. Without context and knowledge of what happened in each incident, don’t judge them blindly. If you know what happened in them, I apologize

That company also rents Jeeps and SxS per their website. So rollovers are probably par for the course.

From what I read earlier two of those were from people that had rented a vehicle.
