The danger is when people don’t follow the rules

I've visited Yellowstone many times over the past 20-25 years. People are the main hazard in Yellowstone, just as they are everywhere else.

Remember, National Parks and Forests are not theme parks. People need to be responsible for themselves in the woods.

That one situation where the dog and Yellowstone ran and jumped in the hot springs and the owner's friend jumped in to try to save him absolutely broke my heart. The fact that they both lost their lives is just horrific. I don't know why you would bring a dog off leash or in any way able to escape from you around Hot springs.

I have hiked and camped many times in Yellowstone without incident back in the 80s. I believe the most dangerous animals there are the two-legged variety.

I have been to Yellowstone twice. First time in the late 80's. It was wonderful.
The second time about 5 years ago. I felt completely safe the first time. But the second time was crazy. I could not believe the amount of small kids and dogs on the boardwalks that go through the pools and hot springs! The small kids were running wild and the dogs were getting in people's way. There were no rails around these walks. Then there were the selfie takers that would literally shove others aside so that they could take a selfie. I got rammed into by kids, dogs and selfie takers. I don't understand the need to bring dogs on to the boardwalks, let alone small kids. The kids need to be carried, for their own safety. I don't understand the obsessive selfie thing.
The poor Rangers were being run ragged trying to keep people away from the wildlife. The tourists would move away from the animal and the moment the Ranger was past them, they would be right back there in harms way to get a selfie.

People, especially those that can't think, ruin everything and put others into unnecessary danger.
Don't even get me started about the women who pee all over the toilets.

Actually the reason the bears attacked in the 1960s was because people left trash and rotting food to attract bears to put on a show. The people found it easier to just dump trash than to burn. But that proved to be detrimental. The bears looked throughout the trash for food, but sadly they would get pieces of glass in their teeth caused them extreme pain. Plus the bears found the trash easier to find rather than their usually prey. Humans made the area so harmful for the bears. It was never the bears fault, but the humans.

Ignorance is accusing any animal of committing a "MURDER!"

When I was 14 (this happened in 1973), I was an idiot tourist. I crossed a road to get closer to a bull bison to take a picture on him. I got within 50’ of him and snapped my picture. A park ranger was talking to my dad close by, the ranger suggested I back up and my dad seconded him. I backed up and the bison slowly crossed the road moving about 100’ away from us and about a dozen ppl.
The bison walked over to a pine tree about 1.5’ in diameter and used his (horns, antlers?) to totally debark the tree on one side!
whew! I was lucky. Later when I hear how tourists regularly get hurt or killed by the attractions at Yellowstone, I think how stupid! But for luck it could have been me.
I never got to see the photograph I risked my life for, someond stole the film roll at the store I used to develop it!!!

I used to live near there and it was pretty common for the locals to go off trail (even though they clearly know) I'm honestly shocked at the low number of deaths considering the amount of locals who go there smashed drunk and just camp out randomly for days. 😂

[bettyhudson]

My best visit to Yellowstone is on television or YouTube 😊

[avelainmarie]

You'll never find me sleeping in a tent in a park where there are predators. And you'll never see me swimming in an ocean where sharks are known to be. Nope. My days of extreme adventure end at riding horses and rescuing injured or abandoned small wild creatures and cycling in the city. 😁

[bettygreenhansen]

I have visited Yellowstone twice and have been utterly enchanted.
Go!
See it!
Explore without fear.
Just stay on the paths, leave small children and pets at home, and heed all wildlife warnings and ranger instructions. You’ll be just fine.

[VictimOfReason]

As a Wyoming native who has both visited the park and worked in the park I can tell you that the majority of the accidents that happen are very preventable. Just because these animals are accustomed to the presence of humans doesn’t translate into tame and by no means safe. The minute you stop respecting the awesome power of the animals who call that park their home is the minute accidents happen. If you’ve never been GO! You’ll never regret the experience! When you don’t act like you are the exception to all the rules it’s quite safe!

[jamesgmenzel]

We don't need more rules, we need people to take responsibility for their actions. As for the bears they were there first. Do we want a park with animals or just a garden. It's suppose to have wildlife their

I got the chance to visit Yellowstone almost exactly a year ago, and found it simply beautiful! We were told a story by one of the rangers about a man (possibly David Kirwan??) who went in after a dog, and when he quit and came back to the wooden paths, he pushed himself up, but the skin from his hands stayed...

Another one we were told was the one behind "Belgian Pool" where they simply named it rhat because a belgian man fell in some years ago.

With enough respect for the nature and each other, it is a stunning place to visit and I will happily return!

For some odd reason, I never felt the need to pack up the wife and kids and take them to visit a giant pot of boiling water 🤷‍♂️

1966 Yellowstone, I was 11 yrs old. Saw a Bull Moose at the edge of a woods that bordered a meadow. I went running down, I wanted to see it close up. Big mistake. When I got about 20 ft. away he pawed the ground, lowered his head and started snorting. I could hear my dad yelling behind me and when I finally had sense enough I turned around and starting running moose in pursuit, yes, the ground was actually rumbling from his hooves hitting the ground, I never saw that look again on my dad's face, he scooped me up and never missed a beat back to our car. Fortunately for me the moose stopped it's pursuit, later on the park ranger said he was giving you fair warning and lucky for you that's all it was. A full grown Bull Moose is a gigantic animal with a rack that is almost unbelievable in size. Learned my lesson for sure.

So to be clear, there are more bear attacks in the woods than in the cities. In the woods, where the bears live? That is so weird. Someone should really do a study to see why that is. smh

[dricka]

In my opinion, I would have to say the bears would be more deadly. As a human, I can actively avoid getting into hot, acidic, or alkaline waters. Bears, on the other hand, can roam where they please and I cannot do anything about a bear sneaking up on me.
