    Oh how awful _ I misread it at first and thought it was 100 degrees Fahrenheit _ then saw it's Celsius and that's actually boiling water.

    That poor child...

    Jesus, that is like falling into a boiling pot of water on the stove.....
    Poor thing, that would have been immensely painful...

    How'd he get over that fence? The parents must feel terrible, they should have been watching but you can't keep an eye on your kids 100% of the time I guess... :(

    Sorry to be the bearer(sp?) of bad news but the young chap died. Terrible, terrible news. Nothing's been released yet about how the heck it happened.

    Oh no, I haven't heard any speculation at all it's just more like how the fuk did it happen? YTF wasn't someone watching him, see him dangerously close to the edge etc? There are barriers all around the place down there. I don't know what actual spot it happened in but my 1st thought is he must have clambered over some barrier or been sitting on a barrier or something, but actually, sorry this is absolute speculation & how things get blown out of proportion so god knows.

    No, I think your completely right! I mean, if I went there with my little one the first thing you think of is, Wow, this place is incredibly dangerous and i am not letting go of my child's hand while we are here. I think it's really odd. And you say it's really fenced off too, yeah???

    I can't believe it escaped the griz... only to be shot by rangers. Not saying I wouldn't have shot it, just crazy is all.

    No, I don't know the exact spot where this happened so I don't know that it's fenced off but most places in the public areas down there are so & yeah, like you say, you'd think you'd be thinking:

    I wouldn't let go of my daughter's hand at all. I know he was 8 but that's still too young for him to be out of Mum and Dad's view hey? Oh well, guess we'll never know how it happened, not like the parents are going to admit fault I don't think.

    I used to cross cover in a burn ICU and I can't think of anything more painful... thank God for medically induced comas...

    I love, love, love animals, but for that bison the best and kindest option was to shoot him and end his suffering. I can't imagine the animal could have survived those injuries.

    The animals do know. However, the ground is so unstable above some of those geothermic areas that living things wind up puncturing a thin layer of rock and fall into the boiling water beneath. There are booby traps everywhere in the backcountry of YSP. Don't fuck around with that shit if you go...

    Yeah that's true. Probably in shock too. I know when I used to work in the Vet, we used to see dogs who had been put in the back of a ute and they had fallen out and scraped most of their hair and skin off. Alot of times it's the shock that's the worst for their little bodies with their blood pressure and temperature, their bodies go haywire.
    NOTE TO PEOPLE OUT THERE! BE CAREFUL PUTTING DOGS IN THE BACK OF UTES!!!

    What's a Ute? Is it like the back of a pickup truck? I go crazy when I see dogs traveling like that. :x :x :x
