* OMG! Your chance of dying is between one 23-hundred-thousandth of a percent and one 625-thousandths of a percent! WHAT ARE WE THINKING???
* Bottom line – if you’re gonna die, it’ll be on the road trip to the national park.
* The number one cause of death at national parks: the smell of the outhouses.
* “Remember – if you’ve been killed in a national park, call Panish, Shea and Boyle. We’re a bear… (ROAR!)… for you!”
* Knowing Americans, those, for example, 28 out of 10 million deaths at Yosemite are just the 28 people who got out of their cars.
* You can vastly improve your odds of survival if you STOP TAKING SELFIES AT THE EDGE OF CLIFFS!
