I’ve heard so many stories about people who were stupid and didn’t follow park rules and ended either injured or killed by the hot water or by being attacked by a bison.

Meh, yes they should've stayed on trail, but very few people realize that there's thermal streams in Yellowstone that look like normal streams. Everyone knows about the springs but very few know about the dangers of the streams. Therefore, if there are warning signs by the springs, why aren't there warning signs by the streams??? Its also not that far from the parking lot. Its not like they fell into a hot stream 2 miles into the wilderness. Anyone could walk 50 feet from the parking lot, see a neat, normal looking stream, touch it and get severe burns because they have no way of knowing how hot it is. They absolutely had a case and its insane that the courts threw it out.

I'm honestly kind of glad the courts didn't rule against the parks on the last case. As tragic as Sarah's passing is, it's not the parks fault that Tyler, Sarah & Lance made the decision to go off trail. They were told beforehand that they needed to always remain on trail, so it isn't like they didn't know the rules. Just because her family was hurt and angered by her tragic passing, does not mean they were right to sue the people that made sure those 3 KNEW the rules.

I want to thank you for not sensationalizing the title of your videos. I grew up in the same small town as Sara and throughout the years, I’ve seen a lot articles about her death entitled “Worst way to die” or “Terrible Deaths.” Each time I see this kind of title, I have a flood of emotions, and I can’t imagine the heartache that her family feels. They can avoid watching videos and reading articles, but they can’t avoid glancing at titles. RIP Sara.

Yellowstone is a huge tourist attraction and I think that contributes a lot to people feeling like it's okay to let down their guard and just do whatever (like getting too close to the bison) but it IS a wildlife area and it IS incredibly dangerous if you don't follow the rules or use common sense.

It’s so funny how “places you shouldn’t go” became open ended enough to mean anything from crocodile waters and caves to dangling by a rope from a helicopter.

Somewhat related, a friend of mine who worked in the Canadian Coast Guard and lived for over a decade in the High Arctic used to tell me stories about how careful you have to be up there. I remember one story about two careless young women who were working as waitresses for a tavern and kept ignoring all warnings to wear clothing appropriate to the climate and take other such precautions. One night, they were walking home from a drunken night out. For some reason, they were out on the docks. They stumbled and fell into the water between the docks. Really cold water is such a shock that you can die within a minute of exposure from a heart attack, but apparently, they lived long enough to drown. They weren't found until the next day.

I discovered Mr Ballen recently and I’m hooked. I know Lance, but didn’t ever hear the detailed story of what happened other than he fell in a hot spring and his friend died. I moved away about 15 years ago but when I saw this I was immediately taken back to the times we hung out.

I really like how he tries to explain and emphasize the thought process the people might have when they decide to do what they do in some of these stories, we all know hindsight is 20/20 but he tries to show how they could be rationalizing things in the moment. Really makes it more genuine.

I went to Yellowstone in 2014. It was beautiful but I’m paranoid and was so scared that everything there would kill me (bears, wildlife, hot springs, even the super volcano). It’s an amazing place to go but remember to be very careful, so many people have died there🙏

I worked at Yellowstone one year. The two things that I remember from our employee training was DON'T LEAVE THE TRAILS and the bear training. Which was basically: to avoid bears be noisy and if you see one give it a wide berth, walking away slowly. If it's confrontational, don't play dead. Instead spread your arms trying to look big and yell at it. They like easy prey. Those were the two things really stressed to us by the park rangers and a couple people actually got fired when they were caught off trail.

And for those mad that the boiling hot creek wasn't marked with a sign, honestly I don't know good a couple of warning signs would work for an ENTIRE RIVER besides putting fencing along the whole length of it. People really need to use their brain and act responsibly. You would think someone would avoid at all costs even the slightest possibility of falling in a body of water, like say if you needed hop over a creek so if there's even a 1% chance of falling in because of how far across it is just take a few minutes and try to find a place where the risk isn't as bad, and it's really just common sense to avoid any body of water you don't know 100% when you're visiting a place that you know is dangerous such as Yellowstone because the purpose of going there is to see BOILING HOT BODIES of WATER. It only makes sense. And this isn't to talk badly about those people that have been hurt, but for those always blaming others because there should have been a sign to warn people. It's why we have so many freedoms taken away because people can't think for themselves and have to be guided through life.

Apparently the younger sibling filmed how their sibling wanted to test how hot the water was, and the soil gave away under them, so they boiled to death and simultaneously dissolved in the acidic water. The body couldn't even be recovered some hours later because it was already dissolved. Please stay on the trails and don't bathe in anything unknown, guys.

OK. So. Having literally just been to Yellowstone for my honeymoon, I do not trust ANY area that does not have a path especially if it is in area of the caldera. There's a ton of hidden hot springs of various temperatures. Bears everywhere (and I am talking about big bad grizzlies who are waaay bigger and moodier than the common black bear), bison (which have fairly poor eyesight and overcompensate by attacking anything too close) and wolves. This place is literally sitting on top of a volcano with acidic/boiling pools that can have very thin shelves hidden around most hot spring areas. Do not be fooled by the beautiful landscape and start getting cheeky. This place is dangerous and fooling around WILL KILL YOU.

and moose! just as dangerous as a grizzly or a bison! I went to yellowstone on my own a few years back (as a single 30-something female) and pretty much stayed in or near the car the entire time. I did one boardwalk hike in an area with a ton of people and the rest of the time just watched the wildlife from inside the car. I also learned that my dog had a supreme hatred for bison. lol. she tried to snarl/bark/eat her way through the window when we'd pass close by to one.

For me, his videos are not just entertainment. They may save my life someday by keeping me glued to youtube at home and avoid some freak accident.

My heartfelt empathy goes out to Sara’s family and friends. She must have suffered unimaginable pain.

That rabbit hole story was one of the strangest things I have ever heard of a person doing. Truly weird.

True story of man in Utah on a lark decided at 8pm to explore underground caves in the desert. Died while hanging upside down in one of the tunnels when he took the wrong turn. Had to mourn his body there since was too far down to retrieve. Amazing he went at night time.
