Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO) releases danger assessment report
| Quote From Source: | You can judge the danger for yourself: the U.S. Geological Survey's Yellowstone Volcano Observatory has released a preliminary report on the potential dangers posed by the volcanic and geothermal activity in Yellowstone National Park. Bottom line: there's not much danger on a day-to-day basis.
Here's the description of the draft report:

"Possible future violent events in the active hydrothermal, magmatic, and tectonic system of Yellowstone National Park pose potential hazards to park visitors and infrastructure. Most of the national park and vicinity are sparsely populated, but significant numbers of people as well as park resources could nevertheless be at risk from these hazards. Depending on the nature and magnitude of a particular hazardous event and the particular time and season when it might occur, 70,000 to more than 100,000 persons could be affected; the most violent events could affect a broader region or even continent-wide areas. This assessment of such hazards is presented both as a guide for future activities of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO) and to aid appropriate response planning by the National Park Service and surrounding agencies and communities. Although the assessment is presented here in some technical detail, this summary is intended to be understandable to non-scientists. The principal conclusions also will be made available in other forms, more accessible to general readers."
They should take the warning labels off of everything and let stupidity sort itself out.
