NEWS GoPro captures woman’s terrifying 50-foot fall down Hawaii waterfall
New York Post ^ | 11 sept 2019 | Lee Brown

Heather Friesen, 26, had a GoPro strapped to her head as she fell down the sheer rocks at the Ka’au Crater Trail, cheating death — but suffering a collapsed lung, 10 broken ribs and a fractured scapula.

Saying that time slowed down as she fell, she said her “friends were freaking out that I was going to die” but she knew she would make it.

She added, “I found out there had been others before me who fell from the same spot and died, and I know that God saved my life that day.”

For anyone who does not want to give the NY posts 1000 java scripts and trackers a chance to run.

I didn’t see any signs around warning the dumb blond of not getting too close to the edge. Probably good for 5 mil.

Just asking, not trolling, google/youtube do nothing of the kind?

Google doesn’t use Google Analytics?

Why is this story just surfacing when it happened in 2016?

You get google anyalitics by going to this site. Yes Google knows all about what we do, but they have very few Java Scripts to other sites. No script shows me that youtube only has a couple. The only one you have to allow is “Youtube” itself.

I count 19 at the NY post, and if you allow those then usually more show up.

Plus a few trackers show up.

If you block those then videos don’t play at the NY post.

OK, I’ve viewed it.

At least it wasn’t filmed at a Hawai’ian volcano!

I had seen on a different source (can’t find), that she was now comfortable talking about it.

Also, a sports talker put out a recent podcast.

Thanks!

I used to run Ghostery, but even on a very healthy workstation it seemed to slow things down, so I didn’t stay with it.
This was a few years back.

And there are tracking schemes that leave no tracks, or almost none. Browser fingerprinting.
