    Well yes but actually no. Like 1 in 10 really dies through nature being extreme despite extensive preparation, ample caution and years of experience. The other 9 are overconfident tourists lacking in at least one of these areas.

    The same thing happens with swimming in our rivers. Every year someone dies. It just happens in like 99% of cases to be a reckless overweight slightly drunk tourist thinking a wild river is like his pool in Cali.
