NAVAJO LAKE STATE PARK, N.M -- A man who was struck by a falling boulder along the north shore of Navajo Lake has died from his injuries.
Nathan Bailey, 20, of Durango, Colo., was hit by the rock Saturday. He died later that evening after he was airlifted to University of New Mexico Hospital in Albuquerque.
Bailey and two friends were rolling rocks down a hill when Bailey was hit by a boulder weighing an estimated 5 tons.
It took rescuers about two hours to reach Bailey.
The incident is being treated as an accident, said Larry Federici, a regional manager for the state Parks and Recreation Department. |
Good thing Cheryl is safe at home in TX now.

Yes, we're smarter than to "roll" 5-ton "rocks" onto our friends here in Texas...

Maybe they watched too much Survivor Africa where they rolled Paper Mache rocks across the Savanna and ran someone over with one.
Shame he died, but why did they think rolling boulders was such a good idea?

If he and his buddies were rolling rocks "downhill" and he got crushed, logic tells me his buddies appointed him "catcher". Darwin award please.
