An Indiana man died after falling off a 70-foot cliff in Puerto Rico while shooting social media videos...near a lighthouse in Cabo Rojo, the US Coast Guard said in a press release.

The 27-year-old was on a day trip to the southwestern coast when he was last seen alive around 5:37 p.m. near the edge of the cliff, the US Coast Guard said.

Garay’s brother Carlos told WTHR that he was on the cliff with his cousin who warned him repeatedly not to get too close to the edge while shooting a TikTok video...Garay was found in an underwater cave with massive head injuries from the fall.

Something about winning stupid prizes comes to mind.

And it ruined his WHOLE day.

Darwin pushed him over.

[DannyTN]

Did he get the video?

[babble-on]

I guess they are looking at the phone screen while walking, rather than looking where they are putting their feet. Unimaginably stupid, and yet it happens a lot.

Tiktoc? The chinese communist propaganda online device? People are stupid

It’s still early in the year, but this is definitely a Darwin Award candidate. It will fall by the wayside after the next “drink Drano challenge” on TikTok kills off a few thousand millennials.

He died doing what he loved best - being a dumbass.

Death by Tic-Toc. SMH and LOL!

Indiana wants me, Lord I can’t go back there.

Usually chicks die this way.

Trump was working on banning it. I think it is banned for military service members.

Off hand I’d say another attention hungry leftist met his doom due to his own stupidity. Leftists tend to thin their own herd, this is likely one such example. Covid being a major one.

Darwin Award WINNER !

Sort of an Indiana man. I guess he lived in Indiana.

My favorite is when they are walking in a cross-walk on a busy street against a Don’t Walk sign and red light.

There is something addicting about creating video that will go viral on the Internet. Just a random search on YouTube will yield countless numbers of people trying to become famous.

By the way, many viral videos you see are staged and fake. The purpose of putting them out is to get hits.

This is what drives people to take dangerous risks.

Oh No! We’ve lost another ‘influencer’???

[bk1000]

Yes, but did his video get any likes? Cuz that’s all that really matters.
