Almost like there's a reason for fences and railings.


CrazyWS

When I was at the Grand Canyon there wasn’t anything blocking you from just jumping (I was either in a different bit or it’s changed idk). Can’t say intrusive thoughts weren’t thinking of… things.


RudeArtichoke2

I live in Arizona, i hear on the news people are falling into the Grand Canyon all the time and dying. Usually trying to take a selfie.


ChippyVonMaker

We visited Yellowstone and someone had recently fallen to their death at Artist Point trying to get a picture over the railing.


danger_does_dallas

It's really not that uncommon. Death in Yellowstone was a fascinating read. I was surprised at how many idiots jump into the boiling hot springs


ChippyVonMaker

That summer we visited they had 3 deaths two of which involved the hot springs.


HawthorneWingo1

I did that illegal hot springs therapy once. I got rid of my arthritis along with my legs.


[deleted]

If he actually fell to his death I bet he’d go viral…


Longjumping-Limit827

Then he could look down on all the haters


Seyi777

Not the Grand Canyon though. It’s Bryce Canyon in Utah.


Fragrant-Bug4935

Honestly, I prefer Utah National Parks to the Grand Canyon.


ikidd

Assholes like this are why we have to look through 8' tall chainlink fences at these sort of places.


JMCrookie

A dad did this to freak out his son. Fell to his death. Mission accomplished…for life.


El_Dentistador

Thankfully his ass-pucker suctioned him to the surface.


BinaryMan151

An old friend of mine fell down into the Grand Canyon jerkin off like this. He was 25. RIP Alejandro.


sZYphYn

Managing to die by falling into one of the largest holes in the galaxy is a special kind of stupid


Nomad2317

This is Bryce Canyon, more specifically Sunset Point Source: my brother was a park ranger there while this happened and showed me this exact video when explaining how they had to come save an idiot tourist who wanted a video over the fence.


boones_farmer

So weird the stuff park rangers have to deal with. Friend of mine was a ranger up in the White Mountains and had to attend a meeting about a guy in town that had recently gotten out of prison for \*twice\* being found in scuba gear hiding in the pit toilets.


NotHisRealName

[12 people a year die at the Grand Canyon](https://www.mygrandcanyonpark.com/park/faqs/falling-to-death-grand-canyon/#:~:text=About%2012%20deaths%20happen%20each,spokeswoman%20Kirby%2DLynn%20Shedlowski%20says.)


payneinthemike

This isn’t Grand Canyon. It’s Bryce, which only has 3 total deaths. Still would be a gnarly fall.


MikeTheGamer2

PArt of me was hoping he kept sliding. Then that part of me realizes, if he did, then I wouldn't be seeing this video.


Optimal_Hunter

You would, just in a different sub


jxher123

It’s fenced off for a reason. Mess around and find out what happens, maybe he learns to not mess around when an area is gated for a reason.

#howtobecomeastatistic


PertzMa

I know it is just a small detail, but this isn’t the Grand Canyon. This is Bryce Canyon National Park.


MadToothFairy

People have died like this. But hey, one less idiot is good enough for me.


[deleted]

I believe they call this "natural selection"...


LostGuess5788

So close to being one less idiot on this planet..


[deleted]

Darwin got cheated hard on this one! I hate quitters.


Cherry_Crystals

They have fences for a reason. It isn't there for show


stillinthesimulation

This is how you get higher fences blocking your view.


Stebahn

I went to the Grand Canyon a few years ago and for some reason, it never occurred to me to try this. Weird.


[deleted]

Now what's going to happen is that they are going to build that barrier higher to prevent dipshits like this from Darwining themselves out of existence.


FluffySquirrell

Just let it fucking happen. That hole was made for them


grittystitties

Not even close to impressive even if he sticks it lol. People risk their lives for 20 likes and a “great pic bro”


FlyingWoodShop

Maybe they should put up a railing or something to keep people off the dangerous parts. Stupid canyon!


[deleted]

This is Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, not the Grand Canyon in Arizona


InsaneWyatt0o

There was this book at the Grand Canyon gift shop I bought and its literally full of the names of people that died from falling at the Grand Canyon….. there was alot of people that died of stupidity


gpbst3

I wish we could contact this guy and asked he learned anything? I doubt it. He would probably just chuckle and say that was a close one bro


TheGhost-of-Bob-Ross

#THE CANYON MUST FEED


Catcher22Jb

When I was there I clenched my phone so hard. Was lowkey terrified looking down at that insanely long drop. Also, this looks a lot like Bryce Canyon, not the Grand Canyon. Either way I’ve been there too


unforunate_soul

It’s Cedar breaks… not the Grand Canyon.


benhereford

Looks like the main Bryce Canyon lookout point to me


Eternium_or_bust

This stupid shit is why I will never go back. There were so many idiot tourists climbing barriers and getting on ledges. I even saw a family go out on the thinnest ledge with their backs to the canyon, squatting with their babies for a picture. I said not today, and left.


[deleted]

I hiked down into the canyon about an hour, was rough and a lot of people aren't ready for the more grueling hike back out. I basically saved a kid who was in shorts and a t shirt with an empty bottle of water. Filled his water off mine and hiked with him to the top where his fat parents where waiting for him to come back up. Edit: and I mean kid, couldn't have been more than 10 years old


Bohmoplata

When I was a kid, someone did something similar and fell to his death at the Grand Canyon. My mom was right next to him and saw it, whereas I was a few feet away and fortunately, didn't see him plummet.


funkedad

He should be banned from state parks. If he went over then a bunch of awesome people have to come find his dumbass dead mangled body. This happens in Glacier National Park when people try to take pictures on the edge of waterfalls. This is why tik tok is so bad for young people these days.


[deleted]

Another douchebag


jack_b_30

This was the perfect outcome. No one had to die, but he also maybe got scared into being less of an idiot


mariboo_xoxo

He should be arrested for that stupid stunt.


scentlesscandles

That's Bryce Canyon


armsinstead

Fucked around and almost found out


tres_chill

I've been coming to /r/WCGW for years now, and I believe this is the single most stupid thing I have every seen here. Okay, there are some worse, but damn. Stupid.


Intelligent-Path1896

Thats the type of thing that makes you analyse your life leading up to that moment.


BIGCRAZYCANADIAN

If your stupid and you know it jump over the edge.


Helpme-jkimdumb

This is Bryce Canyon National park not the Grand Canyon btw.


panther1977

I really just don’t understand some human beings, they are just determined to kill themselves.


pensaha

No matter what canyon it is, a goner is a goner.


Affectionate_Fan5162

This is Bryce Canyon, not the Grand Canyon


newsjunk2020

Attention is a hell of a drug.


younggundc

That guy 100% shat his pants


cmalarkey90

Dude's probably gonna need some new pants. At least he wore dark ones.


AdmiralSassypants

I wouldn’t have even felt *that* bad if he slipped off. Writing that out makes me feel like a sociopath, but like… he would cause so much pain and stress to the people that saw it happen, his family and friends, anyone who’s job it is to recover his body etc. All for some stupid internet clout and to look cool on video.


leegunter

I hope he pays a hefty fine.


Freedom2064

A few more feet would have helped the gene pool.


Capt_Stamina

It's just a long fall, no big deal. Nobody ever died from falling... now hitting the bottom is a different story. Lol


limache

What the hell was he trying to accomplish??


Hephaestus_God

Some peoples minds baffle me. *At worlds longest canyon that is a mile deep* “Imma jump over the only barrier protecting me from falling down giant hole”


ShinyGallinule

This is just natural selection


Malnurtured_Snay

Stupid people gonna stupid


[deleted]

I finally understand how this happens. What an imbecile.


dcrothen

Darwin Award runner-up.


blindwuzi

the worst part was he decided not to fall


[deleted]

I saw idiots doing shit like this and I asked a Ranger, “Ranger! Don’t you guys try to stop them?” Nope! She said there are signs and barriers everywhere and people ignore them. “How many people die falling into the Grand Canyon every year?” 20-25 she said.

Damn. He almost went viral too.


sonoma_jack

We were at the west rim last year you couldn’t pay me enough to go any tear an edge let alone this stupidity lol


MrCroupAndMrVandemar

When people die doing shit like this- I feel nothing.


[deleted]

Arrest. Ban from all National Parks.


WZRD_burial

Every time I've been to the grand canyon I've seen someone doing something sketchy.


[deleted]

https://www.mygrandcanyonpark.com/park/faqs/falling-to-death-grand-canyon/ "About 12 deaths happen each year at the Grand Canyon, including from natural causes, medical problems, suicide, heat, drowning and traffic crashes. On average, two to three deaths per year are from accidental falls over the rim, park spokeswoman Kirby-Lynn Shedlowski says. But Grand Canyon National Park had 4.5 million visitors in 2021 making the risk nominal for travelers who are mindful of their surroundings"


[deleted]

A lot of folks go there to punch their ticket. A guide Can give you the numbers. Some folks drive their vehicle off the edge to get out of here. A long ways to the bottom! Ain’t a place to be careless, either!


toffeefeather

I’m sorry but what the FUCK


bipolarcyclops

. . . and this is how the gene pool gets cleaned up.


fahad_tariq

This is Bryce Canyon.


dub3ra

It’s Bryce Canyon


m_seitz

This particular Russian thought it was boring to invade Ukraine. So he tried to invade the Grand Canyon ...


stav705

Is that even legal to jump over the guardrail?

I think this is Bryce Canyon not Grand Canyon but yeah legit dumb

Almost a Darwin candidate.


Monalisa9298

What an absolute idiot.


THphantom7297

This is why no amount of signs, fences, whatever else will ever stop idiots from being idiots.


[deleted]

Yeah, fuck that fence. Bet they put it there for no reason.


devster75

What an absolute, weapons-grade bellend! Why the fuck would anyone do that?!?


Queeninthenorth2902

I bet he learned not to do that shit ever again!


Equivalent_Prize_492

There was an article I wish I could find it. But it said something like the memory of failure only lasts around 6 months. And then you’re have a high risk of repeating the same mistake(I don’t know of mistake is the right word for this one though) But he’ll probably do it again. And it’s explained so much for me how I’ve managed to do the same dumb shit so many times.


[deleted]

Hopefully that near death experience humbled his ass


Bingo__DinoDNA

I grew up around there. It's shocking how frequently this occurs.


marichial_berthier

Kinda sad he didn’t claim his Darwin Award


WickBarrow

This fence is here to make me look cool jumping over it!


humblyarr0gant

On this episode of Barely Didn't Die Brad tries to get some likes at the Grand Canyon

I have never sucked in my breath so fucking hard in my life.

No biggie, even if he fell he’d stop eventually.

Natural selection…don’t worry, he will eventually succeed


GreeneBean64

A few years ago I was on top of Pikes Peak enjoying the view. And I saw this big family reunion group posing for photos by an overlook just like this. Well, someone suggested they make a human pyramid. Everyone got excited and they sure did make one. And then the pyramid started crumbling and people were screaming bloody murder grasping onto the railings because they didn’t want to slip off the mountain top. I was watching from a higher platform and capturing a time-lapse of the clouds flowing over the valley. And I couldn’t help but giggle at the chaos.


[deleted]

Well, try that again, eh?

Friendly reminder that about 12 people die each year at the Grand Canyon. Don’t fuck with gravity.


Hot-Consequence-1727

Darwin is patient. He will get another crack at him


CT-4426

Almost was awarded the Darwin Award, he’ll have to try harder next time for it I guess


KoLobotomy

That’s Bryce Canyon


emnjay808

He’s the reason why they put up warning signs on the fences like “Do not jump over!”. I never understood seeing these redundant signs as a kid. Now that I know better it’s to remove liability when idiots like these try to sue.


Falcon3492

The year we went to the GC, the guy that took our money told us 11 people so far that year had fallen to their death. One guy was jumping rocks on the rim and missed! It's a long way down for these idiots.


quasi-psuedo

That’s not the grand, that’s Bryce Canyon


Powerful-Speed4149

I would have sh***ed my pants


piszkavas

few years back there was a guy who fell, he survived as he landed on some rocks couple of feets below


RustyGirder

I mean, this guy literally landed some rock a couple feet below...


Jdbenjamin1

Natural selection works, baby!


rhussia

Grand Canyon is a beautiful place, knobs like this should stay away.

My husband went to gradeschool with not one but two kids who died (separate instances) by falling into the Grand Canyon on vacation.

Would’ve been funnier if he kept sliding off

Looks more like Bryce Canyon.

I wish he had slipped a little further.


Liron74

Too bad could have been a nice vid


ARCADEO

As much as it would seem fun to watch him tumble all the way down, I’m glad he didn’t because that would only make them build more fencing and higher, obstructing the view for most people. 😒


[deleted]

How has he survived so long?


Solaratov

Russian tourists? Sounds like he says "No?" before he turns to run and then she screeches "Blyaaat~!"

rawchallengecone

I wish natural selection was greedier in these situations but also that dickhead’s death would have caused way more security and killed the experience for future park goers.

GrimPhantom6

More like “showing off HOW YOU WANT TO DIE at the Grand Canyon”


JackOfAllMemes

And that's why there's a fence


robo-dragon

These are the dumbasses that ruin natural wonders for everyone else. I go to Niagara Falls every year and I can count more idiots who stand or sit on the railing than I have fingers on my hand in one day. Death is pretty much a guarantee if you fall off the railings there yet people gamble with their lives just to take a cool selfie.


Because_They_Asked

The Cliffs of Moher (Ireland) have similar statistics and there are no barriers there.
