The real-life Hunger Games: Two young men held for setting up deadly spiked booby traps on popular Utah hiking trail 'for fun'
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.
