A group of climbers decided to climb a peak in Yosemite, despite the fact that the sky was dark and cloudy. When they reached the summit, the weather was worse, but an experienced member of the group knew about a cave where they'd be safe. As the rain and thunder began, they headed for the cave. Just after they got inside, lightning struck the mountain and severely injured most of the climbers. Not much later, another bolt of lightning struck. They somehow managed to crawl far enough to get help, and they were taken to a hospital.
As they were healing, the idea of a lawsuit developed. They said that the rangers shouldn't have let them climb. As they were climbing, they passed warning signs, which they ignored. Pressure from others made them abandon the lawsuits. If they had gone through with them, the Parks Department feared it would drain their treasury and force closure of the park.
These people will live with their injuries for the rest of their lives, but this whole expedition was their choice, bad weather and warning signs included.
