A woman has been caught scooting along a log at St Mary Falls in Glacier National Park – getting a closer view of the stunning scenery, but putting herself in grave danger. Along with falls and natural causes like heart attacks, drowning is one of the leading causes of death at Glacier. Swiftly flowing water can easily pull a person under, rocks present hidden dangers, and as the National Park Service explains, water in the park can be extremely cold even in the summer.
"To prevent hypothermia, avoid getting wet," advises the NPS. "Reconsider wading in or fording swift streams. Never walk, play, or climb on slippery rocks or logs, especially near waterfalls."
