Two men have been arrested for placing potentially deadly booby traps on a popular Utah hiking trail.
Police say Benjamin Steven Rutkowski, 19, and Kai Matthew Christensen, 21, of Provo, confessed to setting trip wires that could send a 20lb ball of spiked branches into a person’s head, or trip a passer-by into a bed of wooden stakes.
The traps were discovered along the Big Springs trail in Provo Canyon last Saturday by a military-trained officer on foot patrol – before anyone was hurt.

Deadly: One of the traps discovered along the Big Springs trail in Provo Canyon was this 20lb ball of spiked branches rigged to swing into a person’s head
The crude traps were designed to activate when a person entered the shelter.
When tripped, one of the traps released a ball of wooden spikes tied to a rock with rope swinging from a tree.
Treacherous: A bed of stakes was found lying outside another entrance to a popular shelter on the trail
At a second entrance to The Fort,
another trap was meant to cause a person to fall onto spikes sticking up
from a bed of dirt, investigators told the network.
Police say they were able to identify
the two men through a series of Facebook contacts after speaking to locals familiar with the trails.
Rutkowski and Christensen were booked on counts of of reckless endangerment.
Police said they would have faced felony charges had the traps activated.
Charged: Benjamin Steven Rutkowski, 19, confessed to setting the traps along the Big Springs trail, police say
Arrested: Kai Matthew Christensen, 21, with Rutkowski, was booked on a count of of reckless endangerment
It was not known at press time what the motivation was behind the traps.
Deputies told Fox 13 it does not appear the suspects were attempting to hide anything, and they seem to have been set for fun.
Forest Service spokesman Sergeant
Spencer Cannon told the station: ‘We hope that they learn a lesson from
this.
‘Our point isn’t to get someone arrested. Our point is to get
someone to change the behavior and if this helps them to do that by
going to jail, that’s what we want.’

I’m glad they will be dealt with by the US justice system and not ours.

Where are all the people calling for a ban on books because of this? If these kids said they were inspired by computer games or music people would be on here in droves calling for a ban and government intervention and blah blah blah? How very refreshing to see such little hysteria connected to DM article…

That’s one reassuring thing about the US. Once they catch someone they either execute them or shut them away for a long long time. Something we should adopt

They are sick psychopaths. Yes, bob, surrey, just like the ones we have over here who push heavy concrete slabs off bridges on to passing cars or trains “for fun”. I was travelling on a train to London once when this happened, the missile hit the roof of my carriage right above my head with a noise like a bomb going off and caused extensive damage to the roof which then started leaking water down on to me but thankfully that was all, the train kept going. Short of a total brain transplant, I don’t see them improving. Lock them up. Hard labour in a chain gang would help. So would castration.

With ears like that he should be in a circus.

If we’re talking woods and killing, you could have likened it to any number of horror films or thrillers – this story has very little in common with anything in ‘The Hunger Games’ at all, hence no mention of it in the main bulk of the article. I have to applaud your perseverance.
