The rangers made a valiant attempt to help this idiot, above and beyond the call of duty.
Thank you for that comment. Incidents like this are why we have ranger, and other professionals, in parks.
Full disclosure: I am retired NPS (40 year career)and I bleed gray and loden green. It is also why I check the NPS Morning Report regularly for stuff like this.
The victim was amazingly fortunate in this case...
