The end.

“She secured herself to a rope used for rope jumping, but did not set the required safe length”

Details, details

Wouldn’t want to let a harness harsh her mellow

Bungee jumping from the top of a 300 foot chimney stack is not the brightest thing to do, much less just standing on the few-bricks wide “platform” at the top. Seems like a real good chance of hitting the widening chimney on the way down. Then there’s falling the other way down the inside which would be even less fun.

We were discussing the stats on “dangerous selfies” on a thread yesterday....now another to add to the stats!

Lesson learned? Of course not!

Cell phones have killed quite a number of people. We need to regulate them. They’re dangerous, especially the assault cell phones.

NPR (spit) reported 633 deaths worldwide by someone trying for a selfie in the years between 2014 and 2025. India had the most. Falls, drownings and vehicle related deaths led the way.

Before cell videos the childhood memory of Al Franken’s character in the movie Stuart Saves His Family showed his drunk father posing him on a road trying to get the picture before the next car came close to take his snapshot by a good backdrop. He got hit but said later “They told me in the hospital I was saved because I had so much body fat that it cushioned me.

Worth the risk for those sweet, sweet likes from strangers.

the trip was a birthday present from her son

Poor word choice . . . .

[PeterPrinciple]

An investigation has been launched into whether the bungee jumping facility in the town of Pavlovsk, a suburb of St. Petersburg, had fully complied with the law.

Too late for her to be nominated for a Darwin Award, then.
