>>2841439American society is built (by lawyers) around zero danger and putting rails everywhere to prevent people from accidentally getting hurt.
Americans do not appreciate that raw nature is the opposite, and precisely the reason all those railings were required.
Each generation gets more complacent and nervous, and the railings increase, and their exposure to actual danger is reduced.
Then these people spend a day at a local park that is low-risk and think they're ready for "the big outdoors" and go someplace that is popular (with non-retards) but has a considerable skill curve and get themselves in trouble, like your island.
Sleeping Bear is very accessible and popular with clueless Detroit/Chicagoans, and this overlook is hyperaccessible well paved roads and a parking lot and paved pathways (see
>>2841396), so you invariably get a few absolute shitheaded fatbodies that get stuck at the bottom each year and are too incompetent to walk 200 feet along the shore or too lazy to do so when asked by SAR and request a "SAR uber" from the bottom.
They deserve to be charged. A lot. Purely on principle.
