We’re all about trying out new adventures, but people in the Czech Republic may have started to take things a little too far. So far this year, 56 Czech tourists have died while traveling abroad.

Officials chalk it up to people being a little less careful when they’re away from home. The “it can’t happen to me” syndrome also appears to be a leading risk factor. Adventure seekers seem to have caused a spike in the numbers as well, as more and more people are looking towards mountain climbing, diving and other active vacations.

Most recently, one tourist perished will attempting to climb the Matterhorn in Switzerland. Trying new things and enjoying the outdoors is essential, but keep an eye on those local guidelines and safety warnings. And watch out for logs!
