a must for any new visitor to Ireland
outside of the visitors center, really no barriers between you and the edge, muddy trails, windy.
RIP
Seems to me the majority of ‘selfie death’ stories I read involve Indians or Pakistanis.
I didn’t realize that Ireland was also in the midst of a gov’t shutdown.
Actually, the fall didn’t kill him . . .
People like to do death-defying stunts while taking a selfie, showing the world how brave they are. But there is a veil-thin line between bravery and stupidity.
Guess he wasn’t studying physics.
Smart phones need an edge detector warning system and stuff.
TGTS (the great Trump shutdown) will catch the blame. It’s SO bad that even the park rangers in Ireland are affected.
There are signs all along the cliffs to stay on the safe walkway or basically die...
For the life of me, I can't think of one related to a death-causing "selfie". Glad I only have an old clamshell flip-phone that doesn't do "selfies".
The once was an Indian taking a selfie,
Who fell from The Cliffs of Insanity,

I tend to be brave…except where deadly heights are involved. I mean even watching dare devils involving heights on TV makes my ‘boys’ hide.
I can fly in flimsy light planes and it doesn’t bother me. But get me near the edge of a cliff with nothing in front of me and I back away.
After watching the movie, “Edge Of The World”. I was reading about it and the filming. Learned there are several Scottish Islands with 400 foot precipices. They just drop right off into the sea.
I imagine Ireland is the same.
I wondered about that. I spent a J - term in Ireland while in college and The Princess Bride immediately came to mind when we arrived at The Cliffs of Moher.
Our professors warned us ahead of time to be extremely careful as wind gusts have knocked people over the edge. I stayed behind the short rock wall.
It’s sad how addicted people are to their phones and taking selfies.
Obama loves taking selfies. I guess we can hope.
Ban phones!
Dumb. RIP.
Within 30 miles of me are several deep large fresh water springs. I think just about all of them have had divers drown in them.
One of them, Morrison Springs has had something like 30 divers drown deep in the caves. Some over 300 feet deep.
To me going down into those caves would be absolute terror. Why do people do that?
