Latest local news I could find on the Oregon accidents:

More details re the man who fell. The top of Triple Falls is not a safe place to be at any time of year.

More details on the slide. It was earlier reported that a hiker coming down trail warned the family that some rocks were coming down. I don't know if this would have stopped me, either, until I read that account--obviously this was a warning sign! The father is a real hero for covering up and protecting his children.
