A coworker took his family to the Grand Canyon and stopped at an area where there are no rails. His 2 teenagers took off at a dead run towards the canyon, dropping down and ducking out of sight when they reached a recessed area.
The Darwin Awards need to list all of the folks taking selfies at the edge of a cliff, and stepping back as they assess the view on their upheld phones. This has accounted for many deaths in some of the most scenic locations.
Everybody’s blaming the person (or persons) for falling into the canyon. I blame whoever is responsible for maintaining that railing. It’s broken at two locations. Unless the subjests were putting undue stress on the railing, they should have had a reasonable expectation to lean against it without it breaking.

Well he or she got a nice shot of the canyon. And the busted fence.

Unfortunately, that’s happened several times, stepping back for a better shot!!

Must have happened right before a rebel rabbit [bugs bunny] filled that hole up.

Most people test the echo with “HELLO!” not with a long scream.

Proof that people managed to kill themselves in photographic accidents before selfies.

It’d be a good bet they were making ‘horn hands’ when they went over. A ‘Pfft’ at the bottom, ala the Coyote of cartoon fame.

Being a shutterbug, I find this absolutely funny, no cell phone faux cameras for me, the real timer tripod selfie…

Some folks have died doing selfish like that.
