"we sent our reporter to the most dangerous park in the nation. over to you harold ... harold? harold ...? ... ... harold?"

Biggest explosion of population and inexperienced boaters, combined with heat, alcohol and stupidity.

Lake Mead is not considered a National Park, it is a National Recreation area.

Boats are getting faster, and people are getting drunker

The gal says we’re all about safety… I didn’t see one single life jacket , so obviously you’re not about that!…

Out of 19 deaths, there were 4 drownings and 2 heat related deaths. What the hell were the others13 deaths from?

Funny no mention of probably the biggest factor of deaths, Alcohol !!!!!!

Anyone else wonder when Lake Mead became a National Park?

Who writes this crap.

Sometimes people die doing fun shit, its been happening since the dawn of humanity.

The rip current here is off the charts. Even advanced swinmers aren't 100% safe here.

That guy with the hat is naive no life jacket on that’s a major mistake. If something happens you go overboard you won’t be able to float. Drunks will also kill you.

4 drownings, 2 heat related deaths. And the other 13?? This little segment was more of a piece with some dude out there sarcastically telling people "Ohh, you think you're safe HUH??" No context in the beginning, no highlighting the reason for the deaths, or safety precautions until the lady at the end quickly mentioned some of it in 5 seconds. Great "report".

this is why we should all stay at home on our couches, just watching KZfaq

I don't know what this segment is supposed to be but it isn't news as I understand the term.

I didn’t see them wearing life jackets.

Lake Mead is not a national park. It's a National Recreation Area. Huge difference in what activities are allowed.

The same idiots on the roads become worse on the water!

We sent our least favorite reporter to check it out.

Please cite the details, reasons, causes, and responsibilities. To learn from to prevent further loss of life.

“we know how to swim” - found the next victim.

I grew up living on a houseboat all summer, every summer. My gosh! How did I ever survive?

Where is the reporter's life jacket?

My Navy dad always made us wear life jackets and I hated them. Now that I am older, I am grateful he cared.

Alcohol and stupidity caused all these deaths.. life jackets didn't.. If you just cruising around the lake having a few beers it's damn near impossible to drown

Too much water in the lake ????

being sober is the biggest issue

It’s survival of the fitness…

Still way safer than Chicago on any given day

What a shit report: HOW DID THESE 19 people die? Drowning? Boat accident? Falling? My favorite part was when he referred to the hot weather as "heats"

Give that reporter a HAT , his head is burning up ! The young lady talking about how everyone is safety minded meanwhile they overload their boat and still no one has a PFD on ! Typical day at Lake Mead !

Fear pushers

Here's a saftey tip.... don't have TV journalists standing in the middle of the boat ramp while boats are backing in.

Born and raised in Vegas. Lake Mead is as dangerous as you make it.

I lived in Vegas for 36 years, trust me when I tell you that you do not wanna swim in that lake. Especially since the water levels dropped years ago. Be careful people 🙂✌️

Las Vegas most deadly city, lake mead most deadly lake. Perfect.

All these people are saying how "safety first", yet, did not seen on single life jacket

Did the Mex say “We’re very safety out here” Please people, stay in school!

Even a good swimmer can benefit from a life jacket if they happen to be unconscious for some reason.

Money can buy the boat but not experience or sense

When you repeat the line "do not mix drinking with swimming" haw about explaining why. Alcohol does more than impair judgment, it messes with a person's sense of up and down, which can be a deadly combo in the water.

Is Lake Mead full again?? Cause they told us it would never refill!

The only danger about the lake is like everything else in this world. Human stupidity. Very sad for the lost ones and family.

YUP, I'd take my kids and others. I spent good money for the high quality, comfortable life jackets. We all always worr them. And it was alot of peace of mind when something went a little wrong.

Not surprised with the stats. So many crazies on the water.

People are deadly...not the lake.

My mom almost died on lake mojave. They jumped out of the boat for a swim and the bimini top was up. The wind pushed the boat away like a sail. They were lucky to be able to swim to the boat but exhausted.

Is this the same lake that used to be an entire town?

Neglected the reasoning. Alcohol on the lake. Narcissism on the lake. Selfishness on the lake. Darwinism at its core.

Maybe things have changed. When we lived there 2000-2010, we always went to Callville to launch. The parking lot always seemed full and the boat launch got a little crazy at times but once on the lake and through the narrows we hardly saw anyone. Everyone seemed to stay around Lake Mead Marina / Boulder City area part of the lake. There were still a lot of deaths on the lake though but I don't recall this many for this time of the year.

since when is mead a national park?

I'm surprised that they didn't tell us how many people actually drowned inside of boats?

0:49 "we're very safety out here" 1:44 "don't forget about those probable record breaking HEATS" . . . . . . .Too Smart!!

why have misleading reporting...

this is alarming. Stay safe, everyone!

1:28 1 second after getting off a boat with no life jacket, while standing on the rocking dock, telling us how other people should act. This whole video is a scare tactic.

It's DESERT brainiacs. There used to hundreds of lakes in California thousands of years ago🙄

Be smart act smart that's what I always say.

Stop hating

I see Kyle couldn’t make it as a prospector. Hope he still has the mule!

Has a cave diving parallel, it's as if, you fall out of a boat, your carcass may be found by helicopter miles down stream

If you arent in the coast gaurd adults dont always wear a vest for every boat trip

i see resemblance in these news reporters: Gulliver CRAGG Correspondent for France 24 in Kyiv, Ukraine, also covering Poland, Belarus & Hungary. I'm not French though: I'm English.

The gov't will consider closing it. That will "save lives".

Your chances of survival there are 100% better than if you were in NYC LA or any other big city at any given time.

Summer avg high temps while building Hoover Dam was 120. That was early 1930’s.

please explain to these "news" people that when there is no water to launch a boat few people can die boating. They have been telling us for 10 years that the lake is history....the cycle of rain hits the lake fills the boats come and more people tragically die boating. also I am shocked that it gets hot in Nevada

I wonder how many people have died in car accidents driving to and from Lake Mead in the past hundred years.

"our family is big on safety" continues to put like 10 people on a 4man boat, i doubt there's 10 life jackets on board "we have kids, we're safe" yeah, but the alcohol infused idiots that hit you aren't

Some of the phrasing, "record breaking heats" and "we're very safety out here"

He says this, while blocking a lane, for boat ramp.

Going to lake Mead has become a survival challenge?

Man doing a report on people dying in this area Everyone in the background “😎👋👋 what did he say?”

On a positive note....No Sharks!

"We know how to swim" (So did a lot of swimmers who drowned)

Just watched a movie where a guy sticks a knife in the back of the head of a shark before it attack an alligator and the blood comes rushing out

Thats where Ghost Adventures needs to do their next episode.

I'm going to send my mother-in-law there.

I just watched a different video that said the Great Smoky Mountains NP was the most deadly.

We'll, if you hit that water face first in a rollover half drunk you'll be darn glad you all wore your life-vests, because you remembered watching this news clip right before your trip to the lake I'd wager. Great report guys, thank you!

Those lakelurks certainly are dangerous.. Then there's the Legion and NCR blasting at anything that moves and each other... That's gotta be what happened to the 19 deaths and obviously the majority of casualties at the lake.. Sheesh.

And how many dead bodies were put in it to cover up murders?

Look, these reporters are from Las Vegas. You can't expect details and professionalism. You just have to go on looks and camera angles.

angels landing in zion NP is prety dangerous too. boating accidents are diff

“I can swim”. Doesn’t look like you could swim very far, and definitely not if you’re unconscious from a collision.

What only those who have a life preserver on will be safe?

A majority of people these days are new to the sport. I see it notice that alot of people don't have mutual respect for one another on the water. I see it constantly. There's too much to even list but me and my wife both see it and its ridiculous the way people drive these boats. Just a few weeks ago we launched out of Jack Smith in Needles, CA and we were near Topock, AZ coming out of the NO WAKE zone following 2 other boats and out of nowhere this 28ft + power boat going probably 80mph cuts between us and the boat in front of us at an angle nearly hitting the boat in front. The guy came so close that the wake off his boat sprayed the people in the boat, husband wife with two small children. The guy driving the power boat was some 60 or 70 year old man that I assume by the looks of him, his boat and the careless act in which there was no apology that he was out of Havasu. There are accidents and then there are foolish people that cause the accident. I can accept an accident as unfortunate as it may be, but when it comes to someone being foolish and a life is lost, well that is the day multiple lives are ruined cause I wont just sit back and allow the so called justice system handle it, nope, justice will be served that day on the lake. People better wake up cause I know Im not the only one that thinks this way! Happy boating but you better be aware and cautious around other boaters! Be ready to take responsibility!

So, what happened to the other 13?

There are more suicides from gambling than boating accidents

4-drownings, 2-heat related….what about the other 13 deaths that occurred? What were their cause(s)?Sounds like what you reported on could be the least likely way to die out there.

Fear is the mind killer…

Is this really a story? Unless you're going to give us the stats on number of visitors, number of deaths, ages of deceased, BACs of the deceased, causes of death, etc., then it's not news, just a story.

We know how to swim? For how long? They all want to go 100 mph also. They mix drinking with every thing related to being there.

I thought this was a Simpson's take-off.

For the clueless dummy who commented, “We know how to swim!” A life jacket is not to make you a swimmer. It keeps your body from sinking if you are incapacitated. Jeezus!

Katelynn’s not to bright as HER SAFETY CONSCIOUS FAMILY OVERLOADS That tiny dingy. Good job dad

what happened to the other 12?

“We’re Very Safety Out Here” 😆🎉 0:50

Rip currents Alcohol and heat will do it every time

300 out of how many millions of visitors?
