How long does it take to fall 1000 feet?

One's entire life.

[Timber Rattler]

8-10 seconds, depending on your size, weight, etc.

****

I don’t know and I damn sure don’t want to find out.

9.8 M/s/s

1000 feet would be a little over 9 seconds I believe.

Allow me...some assembly required...

1000’ / 32’ / sec squared = about 7.4 seconds.

Old saying in Colorado:

“The mountains don’t care if you live or die.”

Sad, Dolomite is not a strong mineral, and does not offer good footing.

One should stay away from edges and greater slopes.

face facts, too many dumb assses are allowed a voice to the masses and other dumb asses listen to them telling them, “be what you want to be, you can do anything” . the chinese are laughing their collective asses off at westerners who believe their old wives tales and attemp stoopid stunts like walkng on coals, sky diving, swimming with sharks and hiking on 1000 ft cliffs

[who knows what evil?]

Disaster?

[fidelis]

Dying like this is not a tragic accident in the same sense of being hit by a bus in a crosswalk while out on a neighborhood walk. Part of the attraction of mountain climbing and other high risk activity is that you have the satisfaction and bragging rights to do things more cautious people are not willing to take the risk doing. Live risky, die young, leave a good-looking corpse and perhaps grieving family and friends. She died doing what she loved. May she rest in peace.

[Irish Eyes]

Horrible...my cousin died hiking Half Dome in Yosemite. He was an experienced hiker.

Tragic.

Some people get joy taking risks in scenic, dangerous places. Sometimes it simply does not end well.

Ironic that over 700,000 young Italian and Austrian soldiers died miserable deaths often by freezing fighting in those mountains during WW I. The grand result was Italy was “awarded” ~50 square miles of mountains at the Versailles peace treaty

Just another examplr of human folly.

[moovova]

Ban cliffs.

Dont know, but liberals tell us that violent conservative rhetoric causes things, so the fall was likely due to violent rhetoric /s

[Huskrrrr]

When I read the headline I wondered, screaming before or after she started falling?
