Unless the reason you didn't go was due to possible rain, I would classify this under right decision wrong reason. Edit: I seem to have touched a soft spot lol.

>>Sure, but that is not the common situation. -- when prompt attention is available. falls are not the only cause of bone fracture. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2700578/
Nope. As noted in the paper, they are rare except for in severe trauma without prompt attention. Otherwise us humans would have a MUCH lower survival rate than we already do out in the wild. Or as the paper notes “The etiology may be traumatic or, rarely, nontraumatic.” Non-compound fractures can still cause serious issues if complicated somehow, or even long term loss of function of course if they aren’t set correct…
as noted in the paper incidence of fat embolism approaches 30%
many undiagnosed incidence are discovered post mortem.
you are attempting to minimize a dangerous situation.

Your comment is noise, and is being downvoted as such. There is no point in trying to read too much into it.

The first few paragraphs are confusing. Are the attendees unable to drive out through the mud, or are they forbidden to try by local authorities? Or some of both, forbidden to try because they might get stuck even worse?
They can if they'd like to, but they're unable. The kind of mud they're dealing with is very slippery, so, unless you bring a vehicle specifically designed for it, you're not going to be able to drive on it without being sunk up to your axles.
"Please do NOT drive at this time. Road conditions differ based on the neighborhood. We will update you on the driving ban after this weather front has left the area.
It will hamper Exodus if we have cars stuck on roads in our camping areas, or on the Gate Road out of the city. PLEASE don’t be that person. The roads will dry. The issue is NO LONGER ruining the roads (that is the concern before we start the event), but once we are in Exodus we need the roads to be clear, and not to have vehicles blocking traffic flow."

Seems I made the right choice by not going this year!
Being in a desert during an El Niño season is a poor decision. It does rain occasionally and I don’t think people going to camp with a days worth of food in small tents understand the risk of a desert climate. Also, it’s not that remote. Diplo and Chris Rock walked 5 miles out of the site and got picked up and driven back so while the situation does suck, it’s not like they are alone in the great white north 100 mile…
What am I missing here? Flat walk in comfortable temps in a straight line. 5 miles with a bit of rain and some mud. I wouldn't do this in heels, but this doesn't seem life threatening
I thought the same, but from what I understand - Large portion has no mobile phone coverage - Areas with so much rain that it is like mud + quicksand (no experience with this, is this the case?) - Heavy rain + clay makes shoes stick with each step - No lights - Some people have gone to burning man with children (didnt know this was possible) https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/09/01/2023-b... - Rain conti…
