By that standard, National Parks should be limited to paved walkways with 
handrails and flat land that can be seen from same or an adjacent road.  
Most forested and mountainous areas do not meet this standard.  Even the 
popular trail from Yosemite Valley to the top of Yosemite Falls, used by 
millions of mounterhome travelers each year would ned to be excluded from 
the National Park System because it is not perfectly safe (several people 
have managed to injure themselves on it and a few have even managed to 
fall to their deaths).
