How long do you want to ignore this user?
Sometimes I am upset that nature didn't win.
I was shocked by the number of people I saw putting their hands in Mammoth Hotsprings when we were there last month. People are straight stupid and unfortunately Darwin doesn't claim as many as he should.
Complete morons. But at the same time, I have to admit it would be at least a little bit cool to have "thermal trespassing" on your record.
Read "Death in Yellowstone"...the description of the deaths by thermal springs/geysers is gnarly
Like this one?

Scott was reaching down to check the temperature of a hot spring when he slipped and fell into the pool. Though rangers were able to locate Scott's body, bad weather impeded the immediate recovery attempt. Later attempts would have been futile, due to the composition of the pool. "In a very short order, there was a significant amount of dissolving," Veress told KULR.
That one and there was one where some guy's dog got out and ended up in the spring, the guy jumped in to save him and they both got boiled

Do yourself a favor and read or listen to the audiobook of "Death in Yellowstone"
"Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon" (Kindle) is another one. Dads trying to shock/scare their kids by hopping over the retaining wall and slipping/missing the ledge is a pretty common theme in that one.
Can't tell they're dong anything wrong from the photo, there could be a walkway that isn't visible.
But, no....

Two tourists are in hot water after they were caught on camera trespassing at Yellowstone National Park's Old Faithful and leaning dangerously close to the iconic geyser's spout while snapping cellphone pictures, according to park rangers and a witness.

Yellowstone has signs in every bathroom telling people not to stand on the seat while taking a dump. No surprise here...
We were out watching a herd of buffalo and as they got closer a guy told his son that he wasn't moving "because I was here first".
