Wasn't there a post in the recent past about someone following a path in OSM which didn't technically exist on the ground and getting into trouble?
I think you might be referring to this case: https://www.thegreatoutdoorsmag.com/news/concerns-raised-over-crowdsourced-maps-used-by-popular-hiking-apps/ in the Lake District? Here's a write-up of the route itself: https://www.lakelandwalkingtales.co.uk/bishop-of-barf/. That does exist on the ground but you wouldn't want to try and follow it in the dark, or use it as a shortcut descent, which was the problem - apparently the route was tagged with a suitable sac_scale but that's not displayed (clearly) in most renders
