“Selfie” is just a short way to say SUICIDE.

>No pics of it? No one at the colosseum had a camera?

Kinda weird we don’t already have 20 different angles of this idiot just hanging around. Nobody took pics?

[montag813]

Why are there no photos of this idiot?

Then you’re not a very decent person or Christian.

Or perhaps you have some warped idea that it’s bragging.

Cool. Hope the stadium folk got their bloodlust satisfied.

This was beyond the pale.

Social media was a mistake.

Was thinking the same ... spine pierced....lifeless body....given O2 and some stitches ... good to go.

Stupid people die in stupid ways.

When I type in Google “Man impaled on” I get about ten entries. Sometimes it’s the result of a vehicular accident, but apparently, this is not uncommon.

CAUTION: Ghosts in the viewfinder...

...are closer than they appear.

while possibly trying to take a selfie

I bet the "real" story is that the guy got on the fence when a local Italian man offered to take his picture with his cellphone, and then the guy fell when the man demanded $50 Euro to give the guy his phone back.

hung lifelessly from the fence in horrifying scenes witnessed by crowds of tourists

Not only that, they literally brought him back to life.

[quilterdebbie]

Wow! That’s a really tall fence with long spikes at the top! What a dummy!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Lol…re “lifelessly.” It would seem that “Il Messaggero“ has the Democrat Disease — bad messaging.

[lurk]

Zion National Park has signs warning people not to try selfies at the many precipices. Too many tragedies.

[wafflehouse]

well, i bet he doesnt do that again

[HereInTheHeartland]

I guess impaling is better than being torn apart by lions .
