Alias,
Have you read the book referenced in the blog post by chance? I am curious if Dekker saw that type of risk management as consistent across users in the same sport/endeavor or if certain types of variables (education, experiential knowledge, predispositions) altered the trajectory. Curious minds.
I do think one of my greatest lessons in outdoor endeavors was a reinforcement of knowing ones risk tolerance as well as setting up a group environment to discuss that reality.

Everything you see on TV is wrong in some major way … this is pretty par for the course.

Yes, without that video, our perspective on the story would be so different.

That man is a true American hero!

Wow. That is quite possibly the lamest thing I have ever seen. To compare hiking down a paved trail that is never in a real watercourse to the people that died in Keyhole is just shameful.
spinesnaper
Just a shame for purposes of news coverage that he did not skin his knee or split his lip making his panicked retreated down the trail.

This dude will go down in history as the lame-est hiker ever.
So were the other tourists you passed ‘over whelmed’ by the deluge?

If this was already posted, I apologize. This is obviously an absurd news story conflating the flash flood in Keyhole with hikers using a go pro on the paved trail to Angeles Landing. Be prepared to be irritated and disgusted by this news story.

Thanks Hank. I mean that genuinely…..I own a cleaning service and when i wander through the buildings I am privileged to have access to, I pass the time doing my tasks, looking at the pictures people display at their work stations. I wonder about their lives. I watch as new pictures show up over the years and feel connection…does this make me a stalker?….many of us feel reflective off recent events. I was drawn to their “gallery” for reasons expressed above. Go there only if you are ready to see a slew of people who you can imagine hurting now…..and also sense the rich texture of the lives of these folks too. Chokes me up for more than one reason…Enter at your own risk

After doing something stupid and getting lucky myself, I was surprised how many other people were hiking in the Narrows as well, many of them going up canyon as it rained hard. It amazes me that more people aren’t killed in flash floods.

Personally, I would be crapping in my pants if I was caught in something like that. Instead of going to high ground they keep going. It worked out for them.

Looks like Imlay, yes, just after they passed 3 people headed UP the Narrows????

How about this one. From 7:47 on is this Inlay flashing?
ratagonia
This from a year and a month ago: but shows a flash in the Narrows pretty darn well!

when you are planning for the end of the word, things like city planning are pretty mundane.
