I agree, Wendy. This happens far too often on the West Coast. There are reasons for signs posted "OUT OF BOUNDS". Yet (mostly young men) hikers and skiers insist on showing off their macho attitude by heading into dangerous territory. Likely they have the thought in the back of their head "Well, search and rescue will find me if I am in trouble". Unfortunately it does not always work out that way. 

This is NOT a stroll in the neighbourhood park. There are miles and miles of back country out there that is as dangerous as there is in the whole country.
