Her celebratory photo op went south when she slipped on the grass and plunged 115 feet to her death in front of her horrified companion.

I’m glad you’ve survived doing what you enjoy, and I’m sad that this girl didn’t, just on general principles.
Yes, I wish she had lived. I might have dated her at some point.

Hmm. Sounds suspicious to me.
Beautiful girl....sad...her friends flocked to social media...she needed someone beside her helpless photog to tell her...”hey don’t go there, idiot!” Live by social media...die by social media. The new normal.

She could have posed...nevermind. Don’t wanna get banned.
She came down with something.

Regarding my offspring, I have the possibility of fatal poor judgment priced in, so to speak. As each year passes with no lost limbs, felony records, or death by dumbth, we consider it a success.
[My “dangerous” habit is hiking solo in middle of winter. I’m talking 10+ miles. I’m pretty much the only one out there during those times. Should I slip and break my leg, I might never make it back to the trailhead and will freeze to death. I try to take care that this does not happen. But no guarantees.
I had a close call about 20 years ago when a snowstorm hit in the middle of my hike and I lost track of where I was. I eventually made it back to my car but that was a close call.]
"Smart" -- uh, no.
"Cheerful" -- probably was.
"Set goals" -- Yes, if your goal was to stand on the edge of a cliff and fall off.
"Made them happen" -- Yep. No doubt.
“pulchritude” is such a weird word. The word itself sounds so vile, so ugly, so nasty that I always have to look it up.
Sad. Easy to make fun of, but sad.
