Traveling to a US National Park this summer? These are the odds of dying during a visit
Fox News
While Americans heading to U.S. national parks this summer should take caution, dying in one of the more than 60 locations is reportedly statistically unlikely.
An October 2020 analysis from Panish Shea & Boyle LLP which reportedly used data provided by the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) for the years 2007 through 2018 showed there had been a total of 2,727 deaths spread over hundreds of sites across that 12 years period while approximately 3.5 billion visited during that same period. "That equates to just under 8 deaths per 10 million visits to park sites during that time frame," the study noted. "We feel that it is important to say that, based on our data, visiting U.S National Parks is very safe overall."More Related News
