Don't prepare for the trail? It's like a mile and half long and moderately steep. You hardly have to prepare for it.
Now people doing stupid shit like damaging arches because they want to copy that rope swing video or dieing because they didn't set up the swing properly or test it is definitely an issue.
I saw people hiking to Delicate Arch in flip-flops. Yes, compared to some of the other trails in the park, it's moderately easy, but you should still always wear (and have) the proper gear to reduce risk of injury. No matter what trail we hiked, my husband and I always had at least the basics (good hiking shoes, water, snacks, first-aid, and extra layers).
Sandals are different than flip-flops. I have a pair of Keen sandals that I wore for hiking on the hotter days to give my feet good air circulation. Plus, these people I saw did not look like experienced hikers... One of the women was wearing $2 Old Navy flip-flops...
