From the front page of Yellowstone's NPS website - they make it easy for tourons to avoid death:

Well, she aint ded.
An Ohio woman who was gored Monday by a bison at Yellowstone National Park has not died, despite media reports indicating she had.
The Idaho Falls hospital where the woman was taken for treatment did not have a patient death tied to a bison goring, a hospital spokeswoman told the Star-Tribune on Wednesday. That contradicts an NBC News report that was picked up by several Wyoming media outlets.
"To confirm, though, our hospital has has no recent patient death as a result of the injuries being described by the NBC report," the spokeswoman wrote in a text message to the Star-Tribune.
Yellowstone National Park reported the woman's goring on Tuesday afternoon. That announcement from the park said only that she was injured. There was no mention of her death.
However, on Tuesday evening NBC News reported the woman had died. On Wednesday, NBC News corrected its story, saying its past reporting misstated the severity of the woman's injuries. By then, the story had been picked up by major and local media outlets. …

The media getting a story wrong is one of the few things more certain than a tourist doing an idiot stunt.

Wonder if she was a zipperhead ? Interesting question. I visited Yellowstone two years ago and spent 3 days there. Ninety percent of the visitors were either Asians, or Indians, not Comanches, but like Bangladesh Indians. I saw thousands of park visitors, and 9.9 percent, white Americans. Maybe a few Brits and Canadians. Saw 3 American negros. This was interesting to me because I visited the park on two occasions in the seventies, and the visitors were 95 percent white Americans. A few foreigners, and 3 black Americans.

Spent the day in the Park today. Going back in Friday.
Read about the attack. I do not get it.
Still need a tourist getting stupid in Custer State Park yet this summer. Then will have a buffalo double for the summer.

I've almost run into them on the trails and highways around Yellowstone. It happens. Round a corner and you wind up face to face. Wasn't intentional and I always yielded the right of way. Sometimes it's luck determining what happens. Other critters too.

Banning tourist attacks on buffalo hasn't worked.

Sometimes it's luck determining what happens. Other critters too. Totally different scenario. This tourist did not accidently get too close. I have accidently gotten too close to buffalo in Custer State Park when hiking in or out in the dark. Common sense goes a very long ways. These are wild animals, not fuzzy wuzzies city folk are led to believe.

Buffalo encounter These buffalo attacks are getting to be to common. Its time to take action and ban ruthless buffalos. Good God man, how can we stand by and tolerate these senseless buffalo attacks

These are wild animals, not fuzzy wuzzies city folk are led to believe. It's possible she did something stupid but there isn't much detail available. The news stories don't really say what happened. This sounds like a geyser/ hot spring area where visitors are confined to boardwalks. I can't imagine the Bison was strolling down the boardwalk but nobody has any details. May just need to cut her some slack in the meantime. Could happen to anyone.
