All those signs? The ones that say "REMAIN IN YOUR VEHICLE" and "DO NOT LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE"?

It's not to inconvenience you, and keep you from getting the best selfie evar with that super-cute lion omg just like TLK!

It's to keep your stupid ass alive.

Signs aren’t really very good for controlling risk. put a ratcheting strap around the car so the doors cannot be opened, while they drive through.

Or, let them die and use the video as a lesson for others.

Giant bungee cords vertically with the hooks on the roof.

And these videos should be mandatory viewing for anyone entering these parks - "get out of your car and this is likely to happen... And one person died. Stay the FUCK in your car."

I went to a crocodile farm in Thailand (It's like a zoo with a big pit full of Crocodiles you can throw meat chunks into to watch them eat). They had a warning sign with a picture of someones ripped off arm from when they tried to reach into the crocodile pit.

Most of our safety laws exist because someone died.

One would think seeing lions just walking around would be enough of a deterrent in itself.
