3. Not uncommon.

Things like National Parks and other places and forms of recreation are meant to be FUN!

And fun things aren't meant to be fatal. A well known fact, or at least an unspoken assumption.

So the numbers are withheld.

Doesn't matter if someone falls off a cliff or an Australian tourist in Bali gets killed drunk driving a hired scooter, or a sky diver has a chute problem.

Can't interfere with the FUN thing!

How many dead and frozen bodies on the slopes of Mt Everest at the moment?
Only 200.
