INCIDENTS

94-157 - Golden Gate (California) - Employee Death

G.F., 44, an interpretive specialist at Golden Gate, fell to her
death from the Golden Gate Bridge around 10:30 a.m. yesterday morning. 
Feiker was on duty and in uniform at the time.  Her body was subsequently
retrieved by the Coast Guard.  Her death was an apparent suicide; she had
attempted to take her life on a previous occasion.  There will be a
counseling session for park employees.  [Gil Soper, CR, GOGA, 4/6]

94-158 - Canyonlands (Utah) - MVA; Rescue

Just before dark on the evening of April 3rd, staff at the park's Needles
District visitor center received a report of a vehicle that had gone over a
cliff along the Lockhart Basin Road on land administered by the BLM adjacent
to the park.  All on-duty district EMS/rescue personnel responded to the
scene, and located 42-year-old A.S. on a ledge 25 feet below the
road.  A.S. was apparently riding his ATV at a high rate of speed, failed
to negotiate a turn in the dirt road, and drove straight over the cliff
edge.  A.S. landed on the narrow ledge while his ATV plummeted 100 feet
on down to the bottom of Indian Creek Canyon.  A.S. was in severe shock
and had no discernible diastolic blood pressure; he had suffered internal
injuries and a fractured pelvis.  The EMS/rescue teams stabilized A.S.,
performed a high-angle evacuation in the dark, and loaded A.S. on to a
Saint Mary's air life helicopter directly on the canyon edge.  A.S. was
taken to a hospital in Grand Junction, where he remains in intensive care. 
[Larry Van Slyke, CR, CANY, 4/6]

94-159 - Lake Mead (Nevada) - MVA with Fatality

A.G., 35, of Las Vegas, Nevada, was killed on April 5th when
his vehicle went through a guardrail and plunged 100 feet to the bottom of a
canyon.  A.G. was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the
vehicle.  There were no witnesses to the accident.  [Randy Evans, LAME, 4/6]
