Nzoner's Game Room>Stupid Tourist Tricks
Bwana 07:51 AM 05-15-2016


It's off to a fast start already this year! A list of incidents involving people trying to obtain the coveted Darwin Award. I will keep you up to date of all the stupid tourist tricks.

This yesterday: We thought it was cold! (this is a first) :-)

How this lady lived and was not gored is beyond me: Buy a Powerball ticket lady:

This from last week: Amazing no one got taken out:

Much of the time, this is what happens: Fat guy vs Bison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNvTHOrTf_Y

At this rate, it should be a record year for goring incidents, Chinese tourists seem particularly clueless. So far no goring's, but it's coming.

If you have any from your area, post them up.

If you need proof that society is getting dumber, just look at the tsunami of these kind of stories we're seeing these days... seems like its at least a new story a day I'm seeing

Person X trampled and nearly killed by bison/elk/moose/bear while taking selfie in national park

Yep. Yet another reason I don't want to back there. It was bad enough before the days of iPhone zombies. Hell, I was there long enough ago that there were no internet capable phones, and the old flip phone I did have only got a signal in about ten percent of the park.

Didn't see anybody trying to take critter selfies with their disposable Kodaks. :-)

3. Lean over the rail at Niagra Falls trying to see how cold the water is
4. Hang out in Alaska with a salmon strapped to your back to test the speed of a grizzly bear.
5. Step out of your guide vehicle on safari in Africa to take a close up of a sleeping pride of lions.
6. Take an evening swim in the Everglades
7. Overturn rocks and reach your hand in for a souvenir in the desert
8. Participate in a Pride Month March in Afghanistan
9. Eat a heavy meal of tapas and a drink a few bottles of Sangria then wear all red during the running of the bulls in Spain.
10. Decide to paint your body with a message about climate change and do the Polar Bear swim challenge in Antarctica.

Bonus: See how close you can get to the lava eruption while on vacation in Iceland to get a great selfie
sounds like legitimate tik tok challenges. Like the "dive out of a speed boat going 90 mph challenge!"

Drive much? :-)

Yellowstone pulls fully submerged vehicle from thermal feature in the park

Officials at Yellowstone National Park on Friday pulled a car from the Semi-Centennial Geyser near Roaring Mountain after the driver with four passengers inadvertently drove into the thermal feature.

Law enforcement rangers temporarily closed both lanes of the roadway near the accident in order to safely lift the car from the geyser, where it had been fully submerged in 9 feet of water.

After the accident Thursday, the five occupants were able to get out of the vehicle on their own, and each was transported via ambulance to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

No clue, I'm sure more information will come out in the next couple of days.
Everyone will be fine, but that rig is toast.

Ouch geyser explodes in Yellowstone.

Not a stupid tourist trick, just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nothing like 148 degree water and large rocks raining down on you, to make for an exciting day!

Shit! Is that a sign that the Yellowstone caldera is about to blow?

No, this was in the article I caught.

“Today’s explosion does not reflect activity within the volcanic system, which remains at normal background levels of activity,” the Park Service noted in a press release. “Hydrothermal explosions like that of today are not a sign of impending volcanic eruptions, and they are not caused by magma rising towards the surface.”

Shit. I was hoping I could get out of paying some bills.

It did seem to do a bit of a number on the boardwalk.

I feel like the stupid tourist trick in this case is continuing to record and get your shot while telling your kids to GTFO.... run past mommy, this is good shit.
