These are the 10 deadliest national parks in the SH.BA – with one looking more than 20 fatalities per year

How the powerful have fallen.

If you are trying to become more external this spring – you may want to avoid visiting a national park.

Research from the National Park service examined the average annual death of the US National Park from 2007-2024-and some of the numbers that the data discovered are shocking.

The usual causes of these park deaths include the fall, drowning and collisions of motor vehicles, according to Michael McCarty, the leading security officer at the Autumn Defense Company, Edge Fall Defense, LLC.

McCarty explained that half of these deaths are unintentional – mainly caused by people who are careless. He also noted that many of these victims were people 50 and up.

The data showed that the western coast parks saw more deaths – with the Lake Mead national recreation area led by the list.

Located in both Nevada and Arizona – this park on average over 20 deaths a year – with the most common cause of drowning.

Entrance to no. 2 is the Grand Canyon National Park. This park, also located in Arizona, sees about 12 deaths every year. Their cause? Falling.

The National Park with the third most annual deaths is Yosemite National Park in California – with over 11 annual victims. The fall was also the main cause of death here.

National parks in New York and New Jersey were ranked quite low in the list – not even making 10 balls, on average only four deaths a year. It seems that our idea for a day in the park is walking through the Central Park.

1. National Recreation Zone of Lake Mead (20.88 annual deaths)
