Soon to be renamed “AHHHHHHHHHHHH” point.

She tripped over her own feet.
When is the Govt going to get serious about Foot Control. The Constitution only discusses the right to keep Arms.
Gator- playin’ through!
There’s a book store, restaurant, shuttle buses, all kinds of stuff there.
I prefer Bryce Canyon and Zion Nat’l Park, though. Much more picturesque. The canyon road in Zion is something else, too.
People from Florida don't really have any place higher than second floor anywhere around them, aside from a couple of bird-covered landfills located scenically beside the turnpike. Being on the edge of Grand Canyon must have been pretty disorienting for this victim. I don't personally think I could get anywhere near it without freaking out.
Sad...
Seems like she was active in the “rights” community too if you scroll down.
If the government would just take everyones feet, accidents like this would never happen.
He would probably be alive today but cigarettes not falling off a job site, did him in. The crane funeral was pretty cool though he went way up high in the sky and down in the hole. RIP
Well now you know... somebody, most likely the government will be sued.
She will join the ranks of the famously not prudent when the next edition is published RIP
Yeah, my eyes don't stray far from the road when I'm driving through Zion. As I'm sure you know, that can be a challenge, the surroundings are so awesome.
Of course!
It’s always somebody else’s fault.
Oh I love those glass elevators. USED to go downtown just to ride them!Glass elevators are the last thing you have to fear in downtown New Orleans. That said- flatlanders and cliffs are a bad mix. Too many people confuse reality and fantasy and fear nothing. Horrible way to go.
She should have died hereafter;Ol' Billy really knew humanity.
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
The geological formations of the earth are beautiful, but they demand respect.
I stood as far back from the edge as possible. A classmate of my daughter fell from Mt. Hood years ago.
It is? Or are we simply hearing about them vs not so much in the past.
The South Rim has a village with a paved walkway bounded by a low wall. If you stay on the land side of that wall, there is no chance of going over into the canyon. Everywhere else is dangerous, but spectacular. Definitely one of the top natural wonders of the world.
The book is called Over the Edge-Death in the Grand Canyon. I was right in the middle of reading it when I saw this story. Lots and lots of falls at the canyon. The book is available from Amazon.
