Aside from the viewa, we are amazed by the American ability to be dumb. We saw one mom get her three kids to stand on an outcropping with sheer drops of hundreds of feet on 3 sides and no rails she could take a photo. A young guy lay down on one with his head over the edge, hanging head first trying to impress his girlfriend. Lady, find someone else. This one won't make it. Another woman was trying to pet a wild squirrel. We also saw either an ambulance or rescue helicopter in action at each park. We don't see this disregard of risk on Greece. The parks are so amazing: in our litigious society there is a public place where you can test your physical limits (I was reading about free solo climbers in Yosemite ). But so many ordinary people seem to think it is Disney where the thrills are so carefully curated, so if there is no fence or harness, it must be ok.
Rant over.
