A sightseer slipped and fell to her death off a 65-foot waterfall in Indonesia while being filmed by horrified friends.

Windy Rahma Putri, 25, was bathing in waters above Robo Waterfall in Harau, a protected nature preserve in West Sumatra, on Thursday afternoon when she was swept away by swift currents and plunged dozens of feet down the steep drop, officials said.

Putri’s friends were filming her as she was lying on her back on a rock when she lost her grip — showing her desperately trying in vain to grab onto a friend as she slipped and fell off the edge.

Wearing a burka laying on a slippery rock in the middle of a stream at the top of a waterfall.

A slew of bad choices.

Do you think she will get 72 husbands to order around to do chores?

Not sure that bathing while wearing a burka qualifies one for martyrdom.

Bathing in swift running water on slippery rocks right in front of a 65 foot waterfall is not the first place I’d pick for taking a bath. Even at age 25, I would have known better than that, I hope.

Glad they were able to identify her.

Now everyone knows it's Windy.

We saw Muz swimming in the Red Sea in full burka.
The same day we saw a Swedish woman in a bikini getting action from Egyptian men.

She just sat on the beach, guy would come up asking if she wanted to do something.
Two hrs later, she was back on the beach.
Ten min later she was off with another Egyptian man.

It was SO weird!

Inshallah! She won’t be using protected nature reserves as her personal bathroom anymore much less ever coming to the US to mooch. “Bathing” wasn’t all she was doing on that rock.
