The tourist filmed himself on the ride during his trip to Pahalgam in India’s Jammu and Kashmir province, scene of a horror attack last week, which left 26 civilians dead.

In the short video, the visitor, wearing a blue checked shirt, sunglasses, and a safety helmet, smiles at the camera as he records his ride using a selfie stick.

He seems unaware that, in the background, gunshots are clearly audible and dozens are seen desperately running away.

He should have been charged extra for the live performance.

He and his homies shouted Allahu Akbar before take-off. He knew what was happening, was part of the assault. Mohammadans like to video their murder sprees. It’s their favorite Whacking Material.

They can circulate copies so they can all joylessly masturbate to infidels being murdered. They are monsters.

Is he ignoring his experience and the sights, sounds, and view of his adventure to concentrate on his 6’x4” phone on a stick in front of his face?

On adventures like my first parachute jump I wanted my senses wide open to absorb as much as I could of all the new sensations and perspectives, and that is how people experienced adventures until this selfie business, which removes you from it as you concentrate on filming and your mannerisms and facial expressions while recording them.

Me too.

I’ve done two tandem jumps and paid for the video package the second time.

50 years ago me and my Dad built a zipline run in the backyard.
That was before there even were ziplines - or were not named that as yet.
He intentionally made sure that we placed it so it did NOT run over the top
of the swimming pool. He didn’t he didn’t want me and my friends trying
to zipline into the pool, and miss and get injured.

But it probably would not have been as dangerous as being a zipline
tourist in present day Kashmir.

Weird that his focus was on his camera and not the zip line ride.
