10 Most Dangerous Tourist Destination in the United States. #1 is Amazing.

Did you ever think you'd die on vacation? That kind of thing happens more often than you imagine. What's going on? Everyone, welcome back to the world according to Briggs. Let's talk about getting croaked on vacation. That has nothing to do with drinking either. Alright, I guess it may be in 2019, the daughter of a couple my wife and I know from our hometown was bitten by a shark while she was on vacation in the Bahamas. It's heartbreaking that she didn't survive the attack, after this I started reading about shark attacks and this. Of course, she took me down that Google rabbit hole and I learned a lot more than healthy about shark attacks.

This course took me down another rabbit hole of how many people in the United States are seriously injured or killed while on vacation in the United States. alarmed and you may find this a bit shocking. There are over 2 billion

tourist

trips in the United States each year without a pandemic, that is, American and foreign

tourist

s visiting places in the United States, that's a lot of opportunities for people to kick the bucket while we have a good time we don't go To do this in no particular order here are the number 10

most

dangerous

tourist spots in the

united

states

yosemite national park half dome california easily the

most

recognizable landmark in all of yosemite half dome is a granite dome formation that It rises above the eastern edge of Yosemite Valley like a monolith from a forgotten time.

The half dome is the best known rock formation in the park, perhaps even the entire United States, people from all over the world have traveled to this location. to behold its magnificence since 2005 there have been at least 15 deaths 311 accidents and 150 search and rescue missions in the half dome around 60 people have died in the half dome and the path leading to it since they began keeping records around 1910 I did it You see different statistics that say it's closer to 100 people, but most say it's 60 or more. It takes a whole day to hike this trail where you climb over 5000 feet or 1500 meters if you are not from the United States and the last 400 feet.

They are almost vertical so you need to use cables to complete the climb when it rains the slippery rocks can be deadly there is a half dome section known as the death slabs number nine yellowstone national park yellowstone national park is located in The western United States, most of which lies in the northwest corner of Wyoming and extends into Montana and Idaho, is known for its scenery, wildlife, and geysers, including the most famous geyser. Old faithfuls watch as the old geyser erupts is a Yellowstone tradition that people from all over the world have found their way to.

Seeing this famous geyser is like a moment of family bonding like every summer for so many families. Old Faithful is one of nearly 500 geysers in Yellowstone and one of six that park rangers currently predict. It's rare to be able to predict a geyser eruption regularly, but the old faithful has lived up to the name, it's been faithfully exploding every 30 minutes for the past 30 years, and it's also part of a super volcano that can explode at any time. moment, potentially killing thousands and practically vaporizing anyone near it. At least 22 people are known to have died from geyser-related mishaps in and around Yellowstone since 1890.

Most of the deaths have been accidents, although two people died trying to swim in the hot springs around the geysers and two others died. They decided to get closer. look at a geyser and it jumped a barrier and basically melted yeah that's always nice so you know it's a super volcano that can explode at any moment the last time it exploded was over 640,000 years ago so ha It's been a while and a lot of people. They say another super eruption is going to happen soon, but a lot of scientists say that's a load of nonsense and we're perfectly safe, but if it blows up, it'll be bad now, plus all the super volcanoes and geysers and hot springs and stuff like that. . that could kill you you have a slim chance of being run over by a buffalo mauled by a bear attacked by a pack of wolves all of these are potential dangers in Yellowstone now they don't happen like every weekend or every summer or anything like that.

It is very rare for animals to attack and kill someone, but it happens at the number eight action park in New Jersey, so the dangers of this one are in the past because it was closed twice, it was originally opened in 1978 and was closed in 1976 because of all the lawsuits at that time. In 2014 the original owner's son reopened it and closed it again in 2016. I watched the documentary about this place and it was crazy, this park was full of anything that could be fun and the

dangerous

safety precautions were an afterthought for these people, most places like this have a safety first motto, it's not this place, it was have a good time, try not to get hurt and let's take some precautions once we realize what hurts people, so this was a water park, it had go karts, trampolines, alpine slide, pretty much anything you can.

You would think they had a water slide that had a loop. This was before all these crazy water slides we have now and it wasn't very well thought out for people to go down this hill to get to the top of the loop. and fall back inside the loop and hit it and then fall to the bottom of the slide, which is why people get injured all the time they get injured in this place, so they decided to put padding there because that's where people seemed They were landing and then people started coming out with scratches and stuff and they thought maybe there was a problem, there was a screw sticking out or something weird like that, they went in there and discovered the pad. it had been placed there for safety, it had teeth stuck in it, yes that's the kind of place, it was known as traction park, accident park, class action park, state regulators made little effort to address these problems it had the park in later years.

Personal injury lawsuits led to the closure of an increasing number of attractions and eventually the entire park closed in 1996, like I said, but this place was crazy. They had this wave pool called the giant wave pool. They have had six deaths. here and I think four of them went through that pool, another guy had a heart attack when he fell into the cold water after something called a Tarzan swing, it was a big rope that you swung over the water and you let yourself fall well, the water It wasn't hot and it was very cold, the guy had a heart attack, all kinds of things like alcohol was available to anyone with very little verification of IDs and things like that, more than one employee had taken the karts to the Parking this place was crazy, if you ever get a chance go to I think it's on HBO Max.

The documentary is called Class Action Park number seven. The Grand Canyon since 1919. They have had 130 deaths in the Grand Canyon and most of those are. As a result of falling off a cliff, there were people trying to kick the oxygen habit on their own. On average the Grand Canyon sees 12 deaths a year and about 300 rescues, most of the rescues are heat related injuries, broken bones, things like that, more than a few people. He was hit by falling rocks and suffered eye injuries and a woman in 2016 broke her nose with his fist while she was adjusting her bra.

No joke, I don't know how big this bra was, but apparently it was hit number six in Hawaii between July 2015 and January 2019, about 177 tourists died in Hawaii, about one a week on average, most died from injuries sustained while doing common tourist activities such as swimming, snorkeling, hiking, eating spam, drowning is a big cause of death as you can imagine, and most of the time it happens. While snorkeling, not while surfing or anything like that, moped and scooter accidents are another big accident and I really expected to see a lot of people get hit in the head with coconuts every year, but I guess that rarely happens .

However, our Kayla informed me. Hawaiian resident calling a local coconut in the face could get you hit in the head with something number five, Golden Gate National Recreation Area, you might not think this one is dangerous, but it's growing near the ocean, I can tell you that sometimes It's misleading. Dangerous rip currents and coastal waves are some of the risks you face when you get wet in the Pacific Ocean. Golden Gate Recreation Park has all that and more. This is a rocky coast and if you're not paying attention, a wave will pick you up. and launching yourself against the rocks, that's never fun if you're not sure what it feels like, running outside, jumping as high in the air as you can and landing on your back, it feels like that, despite its name, the Golden Bridge Gate is not.

Part of the park is managed by the bridge district so the increasing number of bridge jumpers here is not part of the park statistics, the roads and cliffs around the park are dangerous and I have been here for quite a few years but I can tell you these cliffs are unstable, it's no joke since 1972, 86 people have died here. Lake number four, just east of Las Vegas, has Lake Mead in the middle of the Nevada desert, in case you've never heard of it, it's where Hoover Dam is this place is dangerously hot the terrain is treacherous and in in the last decade seven people have been murdered here that they know legend says this lake has a good number of bodies at the bottom that didn't end up there by mistake 25 people a year die in and around this 290 square mile lake, many of them have to do with drownings, boating accidents, boating and drinking, there is a lot of drinking in these desert lakes, I have been to quite a few of them and I am growing. in southern california and drinking is always a problem and boating accidents are just a nightmare some weekends, alaska number three, alaska was the only US state with over 600 violent crimes per 100,000 residents in 2018. that's not good to begin with most most of the time they would be locals, but more than a few have been tourists.

There are some potentially scary animals that live in almost every tourist

destination

in this state. In fact, the entire state is full of scary animals. Animals are not what attract most tourists. although there are a variety of ways tourists in Alaska take a big nap. Hunting accidents. Fishing accidents that are basically drownings. Car accidents and hiking accidents that include exposure or people simply disappearing. That happens way too much like a car accident if you've ever driven in Alaska. which surprises me, it's not much higher, those are some of the worst and scariest roads I've ever seen, name it and you can die from it in alaska, alaska sees about 60 accidental deaths every year, that doesn't sound like it. a lot until you realize that almost no one lives in this state.

They have liked the population of Rhode Island and they are like the largest

states

. Mardi Gras crazy number two. The New Orleans Mardi Gras can be an incredibly good time. The chances of them killing you are. They are very scarce, they have many police officers who know what they are doing and do it well, but they cannot be everywhere. The first thing I'm going to tell you won't seem like a big deal and it's not terribly dangerous, but you should know about this, never wear sandals, wear real shoes, this place is so crowded that usually drunk people in real shoes will step on your feet. again and again, then you will have garbage on the floor, that is disgusting and your day will be ruined when you start splashing through the street that is full of garbage, beer and whatever else, there are scammer pickpockets and straight up bad people in the crowd who look for a break, if you've been drinking all day the chances of you becoming a break get higher and higher with every drink, New Orleans is a dangerous city and is always on the list of the most violent cities.

Walking back to your hotel to save money can be a deadly mistake. Take a taxi. Take an Uber. Get something. One last thing I'll tell you. You never touch the police horse, I promise you, if that happens, if you do, you're drunk, you even pet that horse, you'll get a beating. Now there really aren't any statistics I can give you on this because it varies and it's really different. It varies from year to year, but New Orleans can be a very dangerous place for a tourist, especially because being a tourist you don't know the city, you can be a victim very easily and before you get to number one, don't forget to check that off.

In 2007, New Smyrna Beach experienced more shark bites than any other place in the world, even surpassing shark hot spots like South Africa, since they began recording shark attacks.

New Smyrna Beach has had a total of 238 attacks to date, with 25 stings in 2008 alone. I also had 24 in 2016. So let me give you an idea of ​​how high that number 238 is. There have only been about 2,800 attacks recorded of sharks around the planet. They started tracking them in 1580. Yes, that long ago, in other words, New Smyrna. The beach has seen almost nine percent of all reported shark attacks, so if you really want to get bitten by a shark or go see someone get bitten by a shark, this is the best place to visit, okay, That's today's list.
