The operator of the railway stated that they did not “tolerate any dangerous or disruptive behaviour in our vehicles or any behaviour that interferes with the safe operation of our trains.” open image in gallery Three German tourists were cited for firing paintballs throughout Joshua Tree National Park and could possibly face jail time A group of men also drew criticism in Namibia after posing naked for pictures atop the popular Big Daddy dune in the Namib desert, making it worthy of a place on the list.
