Mammoth Cave National Park is pretty close to where I live. I would assume that other national parks have big signs with safety tips posted when entering the park. Hell, the very first Safety Tip on the Mammoth Cave website is "WATCH YOUR FOOTING!" Guess what the second tip is... "...use extra caution when walking in areas with low light." They have the same tips in pamplets and on big signs on roads and trails. IF This happened 30 foot from a tourist center where the wood is supplied, and the firepits are dug for you then yah I would say this guy has a case. However this story reads more like this guy was in the "Wild." He had to know that this place wasn't made for his safety. There's no way the government should be responsible for this guy's stupidity and bad luck.
