Careless hikers dislodge rocks

Lately due to numerous mountain visitors, you get a real shower of stones dislodged by careless hikers. Not long ago three just below the top of Brana dislodged a 5kg stone that flew like a "rocket" across the scree right at human height. Good thing no one was below at that time even though they walked up and down all day. On Sunday part of the group told us how a massive stone rolled just below the top of Jalovec. They said everyone stopped for a few minutes then.
Montažev ozebnik, the group above me was constantly dislodging rocks, In general some don't care about others below them, what's important is time and to be home by lunch
Your stories ????

I don't understand, what's the point. In summer there are crowds in the mountains who simply aren't particularly experienced. It's not that they don't care if they trigger a rock on someone's head, but clumsiness of movement and inattention to such "details" - all due to lack of experience.
But I repeat: what's the purpose of such a discussion? Whining? Condemning? Spitting? Maybe soon someone will say again from which Slovenian region they trigger the most rocks?

SamoK  , but do you support such hikers who constantly dislodge stones on the way?
This is completely irresponsible behavior, I don't say that a person dislodges one or two stones but not stones for a whole wheelbarrow.
Even if hikers are inexperienced, they can still be a bit more careful.
And what you wrote, that they are inexperienced and therefore dislodge stones, that's no excuse.
I fully agree with LG

What kind of nonsense is this, who supports whom? Have you gone mad? I explained how and why this happens, and posed a serious question about what this discussion is for. If you have a smart answer, say it. Taking sides for and against clods who bring down mountains is not a smart answer, just so it's clear.

Awareness is in place, but if you go to the mountains you have to take into account that often a rockfall happens completely unintentionally. Often stones are dislodged by a chamois too, so shall we shoot all goats in the mountains now?
That's why it's up to us to take care; protective helmet and watch the surroundings alertly. Assess from where something might come flying and adjust movement in such terrain.

Interesting that this is brought up by someone who on the trip to Kukova špica ran off like a wild goat on his own track and dislodged rocks on ALL other participants knowing that he would dislodge rocks, since the path there wasn't marked with cairns. Despite multiple warnings from the group and the then trip leader, who happened to be me. Not only did you ignore all advice and pleas to stick to the cairn-marked path, but you continued dislodging stones to the top. I think it's really not appropriate for you to bring up this topic since about ethics of walking off-trail, no offense dude, you have no clue... Best regards.

Juš this is unfair accusation, you didn't even see who dislodged the rocks. Definitely not me 100%, but you've been playing patriotic games on this portal for a long time anyway.

Viper true, one small stone or constant dislodging is a big difference.

LG instead of blaming others for endangering you, realize that in the mountains the first and biggest danger for every hiker is himself. Then come other factors which you mostly can't influence.
Now, if you feel so endangered by others, the best is to stay in the valley. And good that you were never inexperienced.
You can be even more experienced and careful, and it happens that you dislodge a stone sometimes. But you repeat this on various forums as if some intentionally dislodge rocks at you

On this forum it's really not worth writing anything. You mention me in every sentence.
