They need to ban cliffs. They are too dangerous.
Stupid is as stupid does.
When I was at the Grand Canyon on the Navejo reserve in Nevada, to see their eagle cliff and walk their glass walkway, I saw a guy leaning quite forward to make it look like he was flying. All I could think about is how it would have taken a momentary wobble or a loose pebble to cause him to lose his balance and go over the edge.
The song “first let me take a selfie” should have a video remix of idiots doing selfies falling victim to “duh”.
Sounds more like a “mushy” than a “selfie”
These selfies are generating so many Darwin Award winners that it needs a separate category.
Somedays you get the selfie; other days the selfie gets you.
I wonder if we need common sense selfie control? 😁
I have done recovery work at Yosemite after bodies fall thousands of feet, the best term is “partsies”.
Indian couple who say they were obsessed with travel. Guy is seen wearing a Levi’s t shirt in one photo and in another with a t shirt saying Beach don’t kill my vibe. The jokes are a little too easy here so I will just say RIP
Very sad for their family and friends.

I have to think something about the belief in reincarnation prevented these students from understanding the danger (seriously).
Wonder if they got any shots on the way down.

Have to say I laughed.
Found dead? How about fell to their deaths. These headlines are dumb.
