I can't feel bad for these people. Death Valley in mid-summer and you go unprepared. I suppose it's a testament to our amazing transportation systems.

I guess you can say it was no walk in the park for that guy. I'll see myself out.
Hopefully this wasn't the sole destination on his trip
Yeah, if you're going to venture into dangerous areas at least learn basic survival skills. Like why the hell didn't he wrap his feet using his clothes?
It's really bizarre. These kinds of people shouldn't leave the city gates without someone experienced in case something like this happens. Hope he gets well though.
Experienced in what? Reading comprehension? The place is called DEATH valley. Pair of flip flops will do?
Experience with not dying in hostile environments. The bar isn't that high, all you need is some common sense, that apparently, this fella did not have.
The motal is he should have had socks too?

Death Valley, frequented in the summer by those looking to be in contention for the year's Darwin award.
Wow, people really wear flipflops there? That's crazy.
Actually, going there is crazy too.
I went there in December and it was a perfect 67° F. This was especially great because we had originally come from below zero temps in Minnesota only a few days prior. In truth though Death Valley was not very exciting and I don't think I would ever bother to return.
That's what I'm thinking. Even in flip flops you should notice the sand being hot and think, "maybe I shouldn't do this"
