After this happening for years and years and people still keep climbing it thinking they can do it stupid

[@buttercupdudden2644]

Bill them for the rescue!

[@nofsgiven3855]

We go trough this every year guys .. either hike early morning or late afternoon…

[@Kingdom_Of_Dreams]

I had to re-read your comment three times to understand that you were trying to say the word "through" lol. I was thinking of a water trough that animals drink from, and I was a bit confused.

Why do these nuttballs go hiking at the worst time ever? 🤔

[@theyclosechannelsthatspeak428]

Let me guess. "They are experienced climbers/hikers". 🙄

[@spartanoverlanding300]

Must not be from AZ

[@aaaggg6303]

That's what I'm saying

[@Melissa.712]

Exactly! These Outsiders think they're going to come into our state and walk around it like they're a boss, well let me tell you the heat will show them who's boss!.

[@MercilessGuitar151]

Considering how bad the education system in AZ is, I am sure they are local idiots.

[@r2b2.]

They need to start showing these idiots faces. They are putting the fire fighters safety at risk too.

[@harleyv1969]

Most are dehydrated prior to hiking out unwittingly

[@azfisher]

Those two interviewees that say they can handle the heat are the next ones to be rescued.

[@franciswyvern]

So many people still underestimate Maricopa's temperature. Wouldn't be surprised if the hikers were tourists or recently moved here

[@kobenoah1]

I thought the trails were going to be closed

[@MrWatts-dz6fb]

So stupid ass humans are just going to do this every summer huh? Smh

[@TheMidnadarkness]

This is why no one should hike in the summer because it’s way too hot out during the summer.

[@wildsmooth9201]

I walk on my lunches everyday even on the record heat days. I think it's important to acclimate to the heat.

[@phxbornandraised1817]

People just don't get it. This guy says " I know the risk" but yet when they go down they dial 911. The men and women who perform these rescues don't go home after it's over. They go back to the station and finish the 24 hour shift. People just don't get it but I guess if you can dial 911 and not be charged for a ride down the mountain on the big wheel or fire bird helicopter I wouldn't get it either.

We have a Stupid Motorist Law now we need a Stupid Hiker Law.

[@diankreczmer6595]

I am used to the heat too, but still your body will get heat stroke and begin to shut down

[@chad5450]

Every single year.

[@hermionejamiefulton667]

Lol, yup real talk, stay out of the heat if you are not used to it.

[@diankreczmer6595]

No respect for nature, but nature will win every time you take it on 😎😎

[@Kingdom_Of_Dreams]

Weather app on your phone: RED on the temperature range, a high of 116 degrees, a note that says "Excessive heat warning in Central Phoenix" with a link about how to take precautions in the high heat. Dumb people: "Hey guys, the weather app says it's the perfect day for a hike!" I have no sympathy for people like this. Be smart.

[@mythoughts2355]

They made a dumb drivers law crossing a flooded road. You flip the bill for being rescued. Why not dumb hikers.

Best time to go is about noon good luck!💀👎💀👎💀👎💀

Darwinism right here folks lmao

Smart move

People overestimate themselves. Just dimb

[@diankreczmer6595]

Btw, everyone knows how stupid animals are which is why you will not find animals up there in the heat 😎😎

[@Amanda-nt7tt]

But doesn't that make them smart 🤓

Personally, I don't understand the desire to hike in the heat. When it's hot, the last thing on my mind is hiking.🥵☀️🌡
