I didn’t know there was such a thing as an Instagram Star.
It looks like she enjoyed having pictures of herself defying death from falling from heights.

Maybe she was being paid to hock vaccinations.

Never been to Pineapple Mountain but I guarantee that the summit of Victoria Peak is an incredible sight...at least on those days when the smog isn't as thick as a London fog (thanks to pollution from China).

May not look as cool in photos, but a harness, cam placed into a crack if no bolt is present, and rope makes you safe.

Who the hell does she influence?

She’s not the first to die from taking selfies.

Wonder what her last words were... Look at meeeeeeeeeeeer

>> “...after she slipped while snapping a selfie at a waterfall.” <<

I know that feeling — almost. While taking a photo of a flower on a path by the edge of a river, I stepped back just a little to get a slightly better angle, only to discover that there was no more path back there. Down I plunged, slipping about ten feet down a steep slope and flipping over headfirst into the river.

I felt like a fool, of course. I wasn’t injured, though, except for a slight strain to my shoulder from trying to hold my camera up and keep it out of the water, in vain (a few days in front of a fan finally dried it out). Much of that river has boulders in it, and if I’d hit my head on one of them, I could have been killed.

Thinking about that afterward bothered me a bit. I believe in the back of my mind, though, I’d realized I wasn’t in a dangerous place. The only reason I flipped over is that my feet got caught in the underbrush. What would have happened most times is that I’d just have gotten a little muddy. When around places that seem dangerous, I’m careful, careful enough to make it to old age, anyway. Sorry this girl won’t.

Should have followed TLC’s advice:

Don’t go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you’re used to

I guess, now we’ll see how strong her influence is.
Will all those hits translate to splats?

With a built-in camera! A gateway to a world of trouble.

“She does not appear to be 32 in the picture.”

That is (was?) her chest size.

“I don’t agree that falling 16 feet meets the definition of “plummeted” but it’s still enough of a distance to kill a person which is why OSHA requires fall protection whenever a person is working more than 6 feet off the ground.”

Actually apparently injuries from falls are different depending on what industry you’re working in:

“OSHA requires that fall protection be provided at elevations of four feet in general industry workplaces, five feet in shipyards, six feet in the construction industry and eight feet in longshoring operations.”

https://www.osha.gov/fall-protection

Oh yeah, let’s not forget steel workers at 15 feet.

“(1) Except as provided by paragraph (a)(3) of this section, each employee engaged in a steel erection activity who is on a walking/working surface with an unprotected side or edge more than 15 feet (4.6 m) above a lower level shall be protected from fall hazards by guardrail systems, safety net systems, personal fall arrest systems, positioning device systems or fall restraint systems.”
