A Kazakhstan woman reportedly was killed Sunday after plummeting more than 100 feet off a cliff in Turkey while posing for a photo to commemorate the end of the local coronavirus lockdown.

(Snip)

To mark the end of quarantine, the adventurer scaled a safety barrier so her friend could snap her standing on the cliff’s edge with majestic waterfalls in the background, News 1 reports.

Does this count as a COVID19 kill?

It is NOT the fall, it is the sudden stop.

Actually I -and I would venture to say no one -is relishing in her demise, the ‘cold’ comments are due to the result of doing stupid things.

RIP....

Of course not. We're angry that this young woman died of stupid, just as I would be if it were one of my own children.

Please respond if you never did anything foolish enough that you put your (or another’s) safety/life in jeopardy.

Got lucky, huh? Still get the shakes remembering your dangerous behavior? I do.

It most certainly does! Had she not been on lock down, she would not have been posting a celebratory selfie!

She was beautiful. Some liberal is now recommending a second safety barrier as an extra warning to those who scale the first barrier.

Yeah, I’ve done something at some point which put my life or the life of someone else in danger. No, I don’t get the shakes though.

“There will be other incidents like this I’m sure.”

Wait until California opens up! Or the Grand Canyon.
