Hiking Can Be Dangerous
A University of Richmond law student fell to his death.
A law student at the University of Richmond died Saturday afternoon after he fell off a cliff during a hiking trip to the popular Crabtree Falls, relatives said yesterday.
Robert Slimak, 26, was on a weekend camping trip with a group of Virginia Commonwealth University alumni when he slid down a rock and fell about 150 feet, said his sister Katherin Crossling.
My condolences to his friends and family. Some safe hiking tips from the US Forrest service.
Update: More information about the incident and family.

People do forget that a simple hike can turn bad. I have read numerous stories of twisted ankles where rocks pinned the hiker only to starve to death. Be prepared where you go, and be save.
