Very sad. Accidents happen. You hope people exercise caution.
Yosemite is a beautiful park and a great place for Darwin nominations. They feature aerial acrobatics, cliff divers, and speed swimming events numerous times a year on average.
I’ve never been to Yosemite. I’d be willing to bet, though, that it has one thing in common with the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone: there are signs all over the place warning people not to do stupid stuff.
I’m not sure why so many people now don’t seem to grasp that places like national parks aren’t Disneyland or movie sets and that if you aren’t careful you can actually DIE there.
The links don’t work.
Adventure seekers got their big adventure . . . short lived as it was.
well... at least it beats getting raped and yer head cut off while on vacation in another country“Hold my beer.”
Being near the edge of a cliff is dangerous. Add alcohol to that and it’s stupid.
A few years ago I walked Four Mile trail from the valley floor to Glacier Point. Although the trail is well groomed, it is narrow in some spots with a 2000 foot drop. Not many selfie idiots back then, but I can only imagine what it’s like now. I did witness a woman with bad leg cramps who had to be rescued. I helped wheel her out on a gurney. A very difficult rescue. People need to be aware of their limitations and certainly alcohol mixed in is a recipe for disaster.
“...died of “multiple injuries to the head, neck, chest and abdomen...”
Not to mention injuries to the back, thighs, hips, knees, calves, ankles, feet, toes ...
"Firewater heap bad. As a child of India, I know about this stuff."
Way to go, guys.
Confirming the stereotype of the drunken Indian.
Seriously, though, do Indians from India get drunk?
It seems rare, but I guess if they are Americanized enough it's possible.
More Indians - being stupid.
Oh man, their instagram oage is still up — and ironic:

And some people thought it was the flying Santini’s act.
Intoxicated and standing at the edge of a cliff. That’s the sure fire method to ensure a long, healthy life.
Drunk people have been falling off cliffs since shortly after Adam and Eve.
Their Happily Ever Afters website is still up and quite cute. It is very sad that they had been drinking and not paying attention after they set up their camera and backed up to the edge of a cliff.
Thanks to the Orange Man’s Partial Federal Government Shutdown, Gravity is back with a vengeance.
So sad..prayers to their families. Now saying that, I have to say if you are intoxicated, don’t hike...
