of the 15.7 BILLION US National Parks visitors since 1916 in 107 years as of 2023, 1600
have gone missing or about 15 a year so your chance of vanishing is one in 15 million & you
are 1000 times more likely to be struck by lightning & even then have a 90 % chance of survival
vs the accidental falls, exposure, encounters with wildlife, crime, etc in the park system
Grand Canyon Park was the worst at 15 a year from 2018 to 2022 or 56 out of the 1100 reports
"Some" "think" "more than 1,000 people" "on average" go missing from US National Parks &
public lands, every year ? based on an "expert" who "believes" & "estimates" 1600 individuals
vanish while visiting US parks, & The fed government hadn't collated the national park missing
