Lake Mead, nation's deadliest national park, is becoming even deadlier 

"we sent our reporter to the most dangerous park in the nation. over to you harold ... harold? harold ...? ... ... harold?"

Out of 19 deaths, there were 4 drownings and 2 heat related deaths. What the hell were the others13 deaths from?

Anyone else wonder when Lake Mead became a National Park?

4 drownings, 2 heat related deaths. And the other 13?? This little segment was more of a piece with some dude out there sarcastically telling people "Ohh, you think you're safe HUH??" No context in the beginning, no highlighting the reason for the deaths, or safety precautions until the lady at the end quickly mentioned some of it in 5 seconds. Great "report".

I don't know what this segment is supposed to be but it isn't news as I understand the term.

I grew up living on a houseboat all summer, every summer. My gosh! How did I ever survive?

YUP, I'd take my kids and others. I spent good money for the high quality, comfortable life jackets. We all always worr them. And it was alot of peace of mind when something went a little wrong.

Fear pushers

Money can buy the boat but not experience or sense

It’s survival of the fitness…

1:28 1 second after getting off a boat with no life jacket, while standing on the rocking dock, telling us how other people should act. This whole video is a scare tactic.

And how many dead bodies were put in it to cover up murders?

“We’re Very Safety Out Here” 😆🎉 0:50

It's DESERT brainiacs. There used to hundreds of lakes in California thousands of years ago🙄

Those lakelurks certainly are dangerous.. Then there's the Legion and NCR blasting at anything that moves and each other... That's gotta be what happened to the 19 deaths and obviously the majority of casualties at the lake.. Sheesh.

It's a national treasure! Take care of it and take care of yourselves! Happy 4th of July 2024!

Rip currents Alcohol and heat will do it every time

300 out of how many millions of visitors?

Its one of the hottest places in the country. It has always been like that .

They should rename it Lake Darwin...

“Its become deadlier at the deadliest national park. That’s where we sent Kyle” Kyle - your colleagues are trying to unalive you! Run!

Fear is the mind killer…

Just watched a movie where a guy sticks a knife in the back of the head of a shark before it attack an alligator and the blood comes rushing out

So when are the lands being returned to Indigenous PEOPLE? -COMANCHE NATION

DARWIN IS SMILING AT THESE FOOLS . . .

Has a cave diving parallel, it's as if, you fall out of a boat, your carcass may be found by helicopter miles down stream

Two kinds of boaters floaters and sinkers! Floaters wear PFD’s! Sinkers do not! Boater since 1960!!

I wear my regardless when I'm fishing on a boat and even tho you know how to swim the arizona heat plus will drain you engery out fast then you think

"Probable record breaking HEATS"...... the basket ball team??? You ppl are 3rd rate.

I believe you are wrong in your slant. The bad is infinitesimal compared to the enjoyment and good experiences provided by the lake. You seem to be looking for verbal abuse that will make you attractive. Iguana Dave

Alcohol ?

Showed catlins cakes

Darwin is doing its job!

Drain the lake! Public safety first🤪🤪😂😂

Got the bubble headed bleach blonde Comes on at 5 She can tell you bout the plane crash With a gleam in her eye It's interesting when people die Give us your dirty laundry...

Stupidity hurts…. Heat, alcohol.. look out

Biggest explosion of population and inexperienced boaters, combined with heat, alcohol and stupidity.

Boats are getting faster, and people are getting drunker

Funny no mention of probably the biggest factor of deaths, Alcohol !!!!!!

The gal says we’re all about safety… I didn’t see one single life jacket , so obviously you’re not about that!…

Lake Mead is not considered a National Park, it is a National Recreation area.

The same idiots on the roads become worse on the water!

The rip current here is off the charts. Even advanced swinmers aren't 100% safe here.

Who writes this crap.

Please cite the details, reasons, causes, and responsibilities. To learn from to prevent further loss of life.

being sober is the biggest issue

this is why we should all stay at home on our couches, just watching RU-vid

That guy with the hat is naive no life jacket on that’s a major mistake. If something happens you go overboard you won’t be able to float. Drunks will also kill you.

I didn’t see them wearing life jackets.

“we know how to swim” - found the next victim.

Where is the reporter's life jacket?

My Navy dad always made us wear life jackets and I hated them. Now that I am older, I am grateful he cared.

Alcohol and stupidity caused all these deaths.. life jackets didn't.. If you just cruising around the lake having a few beers it's damn near impossible to drown

Lake Mead is not a national park. It's a National Recreation Area. Huge difference in what activities are allowed.

Too much water in the lake ????

Here's a saftey tip.... don't have TV journalists standing in the middle of the boat ramp while boats are backing in.

What a shit report: HOW DID THESE 19 people die? Drowning? Boat accident? Falling? My favorite part was when he referred to the hot weather as "heats"

I lived in Vegas for 36 years, trust me when I tell you that you do not wanna swim in that lake. Especially since the water levels dropped years ago. Be careful people 🙂✌️

Give that reporter a HAT , his head is burning up ! The young lady talking about how everyone is safety minded meanwhile they overload their boat and still no one has a PFD on ! Typical day at Lake Mead !

Summer avg high temps while building Hoover Dam was 120. That was early 1930’s.

Is this really a story? Unless you're going to give us the stats on number of visitors, number of deaths, ages of deceased, BACs of the deceased, causes of death, etc., then it's not news, just a story.

When you repeat the line "do not mix drinking with swimming" haw about explaining why. Alcohol does more than impair judgment, it messes with a person's sense of up and down, which can be a deadly combo in the water.

Neglected the reasoning. Alcohol on the lake. Narcissism on the lake. Selfishness on the lake. Darwinism at its core.

Still way safer than Chicago on any given day

Even a good swimmer can benefit from a life jacket if they happen to be unconscious for some reason.

Did the Mex say “We’re very safety out here” Please people, stay in school!

All these people are saying how "safety first", yet, did not seen on single life jacket

Las Vegas most deadly city, lake mead most deadly lake. Perfect.

Going to lake Mead has become a survival challenge?

Not surprised with the stats. So many crazies on the water.

We sent our least favorite reporter to check it out.

"our family is big on safety" continues to put like 10 people on a 4man boat, i doubt there's 10 life jackets on board "we have kids, we're safe" yeah, but the alcohol infused idiots that hit you aren't

this is alarming. Stay safe, everyone!

Born and raised in Vegas. Lake Mead is as dangerous as you make it.

People are deadly...not the lake.

I even wear a life vest when I shower.

since when is mead a national park?

i see resemblance in these news reporters: Gulliver CRAGG Correspondent for France 24 in Kyiv, Ukraine, also covering Poland, Belarus & Hungary. I'm not French though: I'm English.

The only danger about the lake is like everything else in this world. Human stupidity. Very sad for the lost ones and family.

Is Lake Mead full again?? Cause they told us it would never refill!

We'll, if you hit that water face first in a rollover half drunk you'll be darn glad you all wore your life-vests, because you remembered watching this news clip right before your trip to the lake I'd wager. Great report guys, thank you!

Total fear porn. Why not give a breakdown of the death count? Were they drownings? Heat related? Vehicle accidents? Drug or alcohol releated? Suicides? This sort of thing, along with clickbait 'headlines' is why people increasingly dislike the media.

For the clueless dummy who commented, “We know how to swim!” A life jacket is not to make you a swimmer. It keeps your body from sinking if you are incapacitated. Jeezus!

A majority of people these days are new to the sport. I see it notice that alot of people don't have mutual respect for one another on the water. I see it constantly. There's too much to even list but me and my wife both see it and its ridiculous the way people drive these boats. Just a few weeks ago we launched out of Jack Smith in Needles, CA and we were near Topock, AZ coming out of the NO WAKE zone following 2 other boats and out of nowhere this 28ft + power boat going probably 80mph cuts between us and the boat in front of us at an angle nearly hitting the boat in front. The guy came so close that the wake off his boat sprayed the people in the boat, husband wife with two small children. The guy driving the power boat was some 60 or 70 year old man that I assume by the looks of him, his boat and the careless act in which there was no apology that he was out of Havasu. There are accidents and then there are foolish people that cause the accident. I can accept an accident as unfortunate as it may be, but when it comes to someone being foolish and a life is lost, well that is the day multiple lives are ruined cause I wont just sit back and allow the so called justice system handle it, nope, justice will be served that day on the lake. People better wake up cause I know Im not the only one that thinks this way! Happy boating but you better be aware and cautious around other boaters! Be ready to take responsibility!

Welp. Bring a 12 pack and sammiches and camp out at the boat launch. It can be quite entertaining to watch people screw up their boat launch. Beware though. Sometimes language used isn't for kids. 😉👍

Only rookies goes to the lake during holiday weekends. 😂😂😂. We have a pool, no need to hit the lake with idiots. We rather b.b.q. drink, shoot fireworks and swim in the privacy of our home... Booyah.

Life vest isn't for people who can't swim, it is for people who can Swim like a fish or dolphin except that they are Passed-Out or Knocked out before fell into the water. Her answer tells us why so many died each year coupled with their Budweiser binge

The thumbnail ... Red dress, blonde, grin, all with a title suggesting a war torn schoolyard littered with children's appendages. And the reporter's voice ... I guess hes trying hard to sell me something?

4-drownings, 2-heat related….what about the other 13 deaths that occurred? What were their cause(s)?Sounds like what you reported on could be the least likely way to die out there.

Yes, let’s ramp up the hysteria! How many people use that recreation area every day? Every year??While the number of people perishing is unfortunate, my assumption is that the total number of deaths is a very small percentage of overall users. Let’s find something else to report on please.

Be smart act smart that's what I always say.

Remember when the lake dried up and they found bodies the mob had thrown over board. Elwood Mead had something to do with building the damn.Was born in Patriot In🇺🇲

We know how to swim? For how long? They all want to go 100 mph also. They mix drinking with every thing related to being there.

why have misleading reporting...

My mom almost died on lake mojave. They jumped out of the boat for a swim and the bimini top was up. The wind pushed the boat away like a sail. They were lucky to be able to swim to the boat but exhausted.

Yeah. With all those Cazadores and Mirelurk Kings ou there, I'd rather pitch my tent somevhere else.

Your chances of survival there are 100% better than if you were in NYC LA or any other big city at any given time.

Interesting story .....having fun has always been dangerous ....fact 😂😂😂

Just like the guy they found in the barrel. He accidentally shot himself, fell into the barrel and fell over board.

I just watched a different video that said the Great Smoky Mountains NP was the most deadly.
