Boy, 8, dies with 'skin falling from his body' after jumping into boiling hot thermal spring [View all]

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1342664/Boy-8-fighting-life-jumping-boiling-hot-spring-New-Zealand.html

How high, extensive, instrusive, and long should the barriers be at this and other places, such as national parks?

Maybe just put all the walking trails inside of unbreakable plexiglass tubes?

When visiting such a sight, is it the park's responsibility to ensure a child won't be killed or injured, or does the parent have to do a bit of parenting?
