Real gravity trumps digital virtual reality. Are we sure his last pic isnt gonna end up as clickbait....as in “what happened next is a shocker”....

Either way...God rest his soul...and his family and friends...

According to the park service, most accidents there occur during wet conditions.

Wet conditions. I suspect the waterfalls are wet almost always.

Nothing unusual about this. Read Off the Wall: Death in Yosemite by Michael P. Ghiglieri & "Butch" Farabee, Jr. Many visitors, fall and drown there every year, mostly through carelessness.

Perhaps we should raise the selfie camera age limit to 21.

I’ve been to the top of Nevada Falls numerous times. It amazes the number of people that take dangerous risks at the top. Climbing over safety rails to get a better picture. Letting their kids play near the water rushing by (that water is really moving). Throwing rolls of toilet paper off the top (not dangerous until you slip).

Each year there are at least two that go over the edge. Its sad when it is kid that goes.

There must be something that MADD or Bloomberg can do to stop this carnage...

Maybe an air mattress at the bottom of these cliffs?

“In May, a man died on Half Dome after he slipped and fell during a thunderstorm on the last 400 feet of the climb, where hikers grasp cables to scale the summit. “

I did that hike/climb once and had the thought several times that it would be a dangerous thing in the rain.

In India, after a rash of selfie-related deaths, the Tourism Ministry in April asked state government officials to safeguard tourists by installing signs in areas where accidents had occurred declaring them “no-selfie zones.”
