Colleen Burns, 35, of Orlando, was hiking with friends near the South Kaibab Trail on Friday when she accidentally slipped off an edge at Ooh Aah Point, Grand Canyon National Park official tells PEOPLE.
Park rangers located her body about 400 feet below where she was standing.
...
One friend who was with Burns on the trail described her final moments to WESH.
"She was just, like, stepping out of the way for another gentleman to, kind of, squeeze in," Jessica Roman told the station. "Unfortunately, Colleen just kind of got tripped up on her own feet and fell backwards. She fell into the canyon."

Me too. Ever since my second back surgery I have balance issues. Not tempting fate.

I thought I was established that THIS incident was not selfie per say. I occurred AFTER the selfie was taken.
I do appreciate you clarifying the point you were making.
Thanks

Go to any National Park and people think they are at an amusement park. I was just in Yellowstone and watched a woman do a handstand with splits on the edge on the walkway over the Grand Prismatic Springs. A few weeks before that a fellow from Germany decided to walk off the path there, fell through the thin crust and no part of him was left to recover.

About three days before Christmas, I was up there in a white out. It was snowing and we were going to stay the next two nights so we weren’t too disappointed that it was a white-out when we arrived.
We walked out to the trail to Mather Point anyway. We could not see the canyon at all but the 30 mph wind driving snow past us seemed to drop into a giant hole — we could sense the presence of that void only feet away.
