stupid kid wanted a darwin award but luckey he did not earn it.
19 to 1 it was a selfy attempt
Is that real moustache?
Between this and last week a man was disulve into the yellow stone hot spring and die, or another was injured by bison in Wyoming, these people forget to bring their brains when they left their home.
I was at Grand canyon in June 2018, saw many young people stood at the edge with only flip flops, the ground is full of tiny rocks where its so easy to slip down. During the same trip to the Horseshoe Bend, even more tourist sitting on the edge for selfies all these for social media. If they fell off the cliff, they brought it to themselves. I only dare to stood 3 feet away and my knee were shacking and heart pounding 😢
The national joke service on scene
Visited the Grand Canyon from the AZ side. I had what felt like a panic attack. I was fearful even in the safe designated areas. When my husband went to take pics, I called out to him to get back from the edge, he thought I was acting silly, meanwhile, I was yards away from the edge hugging a half dead tree. Then on the way out of the GC my husband wasn’t focusing on the road, but on the sunlight and colors of the canyon sights, I started crying and begging for him to keep his eyes on the road, bc it seemed like the roads were windy and had no barriers except some weak half dead shrubs. My son gave me his baby blanket to cover my face from the sights while I was panicking. It was not for me. I wanted to get out of the GC way before the sun started setting with potentially no lights on the roadway. On top of that ppl intentionally step over the barriers in flip flops to take selfies with their backs to the canyon, one gush of wind and/or a slip to cause an imbalance, oh my!!! I just can’t, it stresses me out. 😳
Ouch !
Oh no 😔
Too bad it wasn't biden.
I don't understand the craze to go to heights with no training
I would think there would be warnings and safter percussions in place . Though it is common for teens to have bad judgment.
HAHA

And his parents were….?
@0:05 “ABC’s fake eh boobie has more” lol.

Sounds like a rock wall in the views of our old SLR konica camera I saw my brother took for his oops of warning of being stupid that las Vegas is only the kanab and kaibabs here in tonto .
That would be a dope way to go out tbh
Introverts have to unfaily and indirectly pay for the rescur cost of extrovert activity.
How about a little parental control?
This is an even better report on the accident from the boy himself about what happened and all the injuries he suffered
