A woman sprained her ankle at dusk, in the middle of a forested urban park on a routine evening winter run and almost froze to death. A car got stuck in the snow on a rural road only a few miles from a major highway and the driver died of hypothermia and dehydration. A man took a day-hike on a well known trail, got lost and was never seen again. These avoidable tragedies happen all the time.
