The couch-dwellers will call us irresponsible for taking any risk, but ultimately they will be the ones dying prematurely from 'lifestyle' diseases.

Seems it will take another tragedy to get this sorted. I thought it had been. People selling stuff should not even be wearing the uniform or giving out information unless a way is found to make it accurate. This sort of thing really irks me, it has been going through phases of incompetence for years (regardless of the background to this one incident), its not as if noone knows it happens. IMO i pay taxes to have professionals not shoppies. Who is liable for incorrect information putting peoples lives at stake or at the very least contributing to a miserable experience? Pay someone to go and take a look if at all unsure. Dont give answers until Sure. Of all the things parks staff should be responsible for surely knowing the area and whats going on comes before selling trinkets (whatever the demand) This particular one really does make the blood boil.
