Rocky Mountain National Park (CO)
Injured Hiker Rescued From Lost Lake Area

Rangers received a call yesterday afternoon from the
International Emergency Response Coordination Center,
reporting that they’d received an emergency activation
signal from a SPOT device from a point near Lost Lake
in the northeast section of the park. Two rangers, one
a park medic, flew to the location in a Grand Teton NP
helicopter that is in the park to support operations
on the Cow Creek Fire. They found a 27-year-old man
who’d suffered a broken leg after sliding 30 yards
down a snowfield above the lake. He was flown out and
taken by ambulance to Estes Park Medical Center.

Nice try Bob Berger, but it won't work. Your examples of hikers getting into
trouble is due to their engaging in risky behavior. Basically they are young
and stupid and taking chances that a mature person would never take.

Mountain bikers on the other hand are not taking any chances. They are
simply riding their bikes on hiking trails and coming to grief. They are of
all ages, not just the young and stupid.

Like I said, nice try Bob Berger, but it won't work!

Bull****, Most Mountain Bikers that are riding on the Trails, in a wild
fashion, ARE Young, Stupid, over-Aggresive Punks, and wouldn't be
allowed to ride the sidewalks of any City in the Country. The folks that
do peddle along at a slow rate on backwoods trails, because they like
the "out of doors" aren't the ones tearing up the trails. It is the same
for ATV'ers and Snowmobilers. It is the Young Fools that do the damage
not the slow riders, and if haven't or can't to see the difference, you
don't get out on the trails much....

Even so, it is quite mature folks in their 30's and 40's riding mountain
bikes on single track hiking trails who are injuring and killing themselves.
How do you account for that?
