ENCINITAS, Calif.,- Two men who fell from a seaside cliff north of San Diego told authorities they became distracted while playing augmented reality game Pokemon Go.
Encinitas fire Battalion Chief Robbie Ford said one of the men fell about 50 feet down the bluff in Encinitas while the other man fell about 80 to 90 feet to the beach below.
Ford said the man who fell to the beach told San Diego County sheriff's deputies he and the other man had been playing smartphone game Pokemon Go, which sends players to real-world locations to capture digital monsters.
The man who fell 50 feet down the bluff was rescued by firefighters using ropes and harnesses, Ford said.
The men were taken to Scripps La Jolla Trauma Center with unspecified injuries described as moderate shortly after their 1 p.m. fall.
Fire Marshal Anita Pupping urged Pokemon Go players to use caution.
"We'd like people to stay clear of all the bluffs, overhangs and cliffs," she told USA Today.
Sgt. Rich Eaton of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department agreed players of the game should steer clear of dangerous areas.
"I think people just need to realize this is a game," Eaton told the Los Angeles Times. "It's not worth your life. No game is worth your life."
Pokemon Go has been downloaded more than 10 million times to Apple and Android devices following its July 7 release.

No one poke me, kick their #@. BTW is “pokemon” rasta for a homosexual ping?
This little game has been great for achieving a Darwin level award and thinning the gene pool of idiots.
Do you have any apps on your phone?
Are they also giving access to all information on your phone?
I’m very interested to know.
Many Darwin award nominees this year playing this game.

Post of the Day. Well done!
As well they should!
So I guess these idiots never considered someone put this together to deliberately cause a person to have an accident.
They weren’t men. Men don’t play a child’s game.
“Pokemongo just pawn in game of life”.
Nope. Do not use aps at all.
A girl in WY found a body while playing it. Apparently natural causes.
Yeah, but did they catch them?
Who knew poke mon would be a way to thin the dumbasses out of the gene pool? If youre gonna be dumb you’d better be tough.
Morons... oh yeah... because walking around playing a game on your phone is WAY more pathetic and nerdy than sitting around commenting on the internet. Way more... Yeah. Let’s all mock the nerds out there being nerdy in the daylight instead of sitting around being snarky about strangers like REAL MEN. Silly Nerds. Don’t they know that using electronics for games is pathetic and childlike. REAL adults use electronics to set on their assets and mock people. In fact it is super wimpy to walk around cliffs and stuff. Yeah. Wimptastic. Sitting around mocking.. That is where the old school macho men are. Not out WALKING... or anything so nerdy as that.
