I think this death is unusual in that it is being reported by the media.
I think over the years about 20 people have died at burning man festivals. Which isn't an especially high number considering the number of people involved and the length of time the festival lasts.
Typically deaths at concerts, football games, baseball games aren't covered by the media. But they happen.
Similarly a significant portion of the deaths that occur in visitors to Mt Rainier are heart attacks that occur within 1 mile of the Paradise parking lot.

They have a performance bond and are required to return the playa to a pre Burn condition.
That is not to say every privately owned dumpster far and wide becomes overflowing with Burner garbage that they don’t ask for and are required to pay dumpage fees out of pocket and unreimbursed

At $2750 the 4000 FOMO tickets and $575 for the 30,000 regular tickets and $150 for 10,000 vehicle tickets and almost $30m in revenue it would seem to me that the organizers should have enough scratch to hire a clean up crew.
If the organizers don't, the BLM would be justified in denying future special use permits for the festival.

Imagine having to abandon your car because you went to a festival and it rained.

I wouldn’t expect the clean up committee to bring in more 20 yd dumpsters until the playa is dried out. If you were the dumpster company would you be willing to get your truck stuck?

Hippies? More like people with deep pockets to even get there. These are not the hippies of the 60' and 70's. See how many $100,000+ RV's there were there? Yeah......sorry, that festival is full of tech workers who fancy themselves "free spirits".

Even better. Two for one. Sheriff thinks his registered voters don’t like them either.
Who ever heard of someone being expected to clean up after flood before road is passable.
When it gets cleaned up sheriff will take credit.
The cock crows. The sun rises.

On a positive note. One thing for sure, we love our festivals!
Sure there might be a mess afterwards, that's the callingcard of a great event!
As for passing, be where you love.... Surrounded by those who love!

Of course not, anyone who was old enough in the 1960s to understand what it means to be a hippie is in their 70s now or older. More likely to be found in a nursing home than camping in a desert festival.
