Yosemite hiker killed by falling branch was 'a really careful person,' her father says
Briefly

Angela Lin, a 29-year-old Google software engineer, loved the outdoors but avoided risky activities. Tragically, during a hike in Yosemite National Park, she was killed by a falling tree limb. Family members are seeking answers about the incident and whether safety measures are being taken in the park. Angela's father expresses regret over not communicating his love for her better. The sudden nature of her death has left her family in shock as they cope with their loss and prepare for her memorial service.
"This breaks my heart," said Elisabeth Barton, a founding member of Echo Adventure Cooperative that guides tourists several days a week along the same trail. "It's that constant battle between safety and exploration."
Angela's parents want more information from the park service. What kind of tree dropped the limb? Is the park doing any trimming to prevent further tragedies?
