Similarly, snow piles can be dangerous. Like the kind made by machines clearing parking lots that kids love to play on. Depending on how packed it is, there could be gaps a kid could fall in and get stuck, plus kids scream when they are having fun, so many adults might just filter out the sound of child screaming.
The ones at schools might be specifically made with kids playing on them in mind, but I doubt that’s the case for ones in random parking lots, though maybe I’m just underestimating typical snow plough training.

The biggest danger with snow caves is that they absorb pretty much all sound, so you can’t hear the screaming if it eve partly collapses.
We always build our kid igloos without roofs for this reason.
