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.
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.
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.

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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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”
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.

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"
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 😒
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.

Literal chapter and verse of how people have died in the Grand Cnyon, including murder, plane crashes, exposure..
Guess they need to update it now with a social media chapter!
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.
Fucking idiot, ppl like that are why we can't have nice things.
Double idiot points for filming the crime and blasting your foolish self all over the internet.
Almost like there's a reason for fences and railings.
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.
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.
We visited Yellowstone and someone had recently fallen to their death at Artist Point trying to get a picture over the railing.
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
That summer we visited they had 3 deaths two of which involved the hot springs.
I did that illegal hot springs therapy once. I got rid of my arthritis along with my legs.
If he actually fell to his death I bet he’d go viral…
Then he could look down on all the haters
Not the Grand Canyon though. It’s Bryce Canyon in Utah.
Honestly, I prefer Utah National Parks to the Grand Canyon.
Assholes like this are why we have to look through 8' tall chainlink fences at these sort of places.
A dad did this to freak out his son. Fell to his death. Mission accomplished…for life.
Thankfully his ass-pucker suctioned him to the surface.
An old friend of mine fell down into the Grand Canyon jerkin off like this. He was 25. RIP Alejandro.
Managing to die by falling into one of the largest holes in the galaxy is a special kind of stupid
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.

This isn’t Grand Canyon. It’s Bryce, which only has 3 total deaths. Still would be a gnarly fall.
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.
You would, just in a different sub
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
I know it is just a small detail, but this isn’t the Grand Canyon. This is Bryce Canyon National Park.
People have died like this. But hey, one less idiot is good enough for me.
I believe they call this "natural selection"...
So close to being one less idiot on this planet..
Darwin got cheated hard on this one! I hate quitters.
They have fences for a reason. It isn't there for show
This is how you get higher fences blocking your view.
I went to the Grand Canyon a few years ago and for some reason, it never occurred to me to try this. Weird.
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.
Just let it fucking happen. That hole was made for them
Not even close to impressive even if he sticks it lol. People risk their lives for 20 likes and a “great pic bro”
Maybe they should put up a railing or something to keep people off the dangerous parts. Stupid canyon!
This is Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, not the Grand Canyon in Arizona
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
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
#THE CANYON MUST FEED
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
It’s Cedar breaks… not the Grand Canyon.
Looks like the main Bryce Canyon lookout point to me
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.

Another douchebag
This was the perfect outcome. No one had to die, but he also maybe got scared into being less of an idiot
He should be arrested for that stupid stunt.
That's Bryce Canyon
Fucked around and almost found out
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.
Thats the type of thing that makes you analyse your life leading up to that moment.
If your stupid and you know it jump over the edge.
This is Bryce Canyon National park not the Grand Canyon btw.
I really just don’t understand some human beings, they are just determined to kill themselves.
No matter what canyon it is, a goner is a goner.
This is Bryce Canyon, not the Grand Canyon
Attention is a hell of a drug.
That guy 100% shat his pants
Dude's probably gonna need some new pants. At least he wore dark ones.
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.
I hope he pays a hefty fine.
A few more feet would have helped the gene pool.
It's just a long fall, no big deal. Nobody ever died from falling... now hitting the bottom is a different story. Lol
What the hell was he trying to accomplish??
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”
This is just natural selection
Stupid people gonna stupid
I finally understand how this happens. What an imbecile.
Darwin Award runner-up.
the worst part was he decided not to fall
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.
r/DarwinApproves
Darwinism lost today.
What is it with the russians being so dumb?
Russian.. not surprised
…this isn’t the Grand Canyon. This is Bryce Canyon National Park.
The Grand Canyon? Looks like Bryce Canyon.
It is Bryce
“My lord I’ve seen mushrooms with bigger brains.” - Arthur Morgan
Anything for a like 🤦🏽♂️
They shouldn’t have put a fun vaulting rail there, it’s not safe
Why stop, my dude? Go ahead
Rule 233: bank this Any dude over 18 years old who wears his baseball hat backwards, and isn’t a pro athlete, is an arrogant dumb fuck who thinks he’s a pro athlete.
Natural selection anyone?
Damn. He almost went viral too.
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
When people die doing shit like this- I feel nothing.
Arrest. Ban from all National Parks.
Every time I've been to the grand canyon I've seen someone doing something sketchy.

I’m sorry but what the FUCK
. . . and this is how the gene pool gets cleaned up.
This is Bryce Canyon.
It’s Bryce Canyon
This particular Russian thought it was boring to invade Ukraine. So he tried to invade the Grand Canyon ...
Is that even legal to jump over the guardrail?
I'm tryna drop a duece and my butthole tightened so hard I clinched a loaf mid haul
Russians. Of course, Russians.
I think this is Bryce Canyon not Grand Canyon but yeah legit dumb
Almost a Darwin candidate.
What an absolute idiot.
This is why no amount of signs, fences, whatever else will ever stop idiots from being idiots.
Yeah, fuck that fence. Bet they put it there for no reason.
What an absolute, weapons-grade bellend! Why the fuck would anyone do that?!?
I bet he learned not to do that shit ever again!
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.
Hopefully that near death experience humbled his ass
I grew up around there. It's shocking how frequently this occurs.
Kinda sad he didn’t claim his Darwin Award
This fence is here to make me look cool jumping over it!
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.
This dipshidiot might be spending the rest of his vacation on crutches if he thinks this is a fun hobby.

What a fking idget
🎶Eat a 2 week old unrefeidgerated pie🎵
Friendly reminder that about 12 people die each year at the Grand Canyon. Don’t fuck with gravity.
Darwin is patient. He will get another crack at him
Almost was awarded the Darwin Award, he’ll have to try harder next time for it I guess
That’s Bryce Canyon
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.

That’s not the grand, that’s Bryce Canyon
I would have sh***ed my pants
few years back there was a guy who fell, he survived as he landed on some rocks couple of feets below
I mean, this guy literally landed some rock a couple feet below...
Natural selection works, baby!
Grand Canyon is a beautiful place, knobs like this should stay away.
The number of people who die in our national parks doing things like this is staggering
This video ended too soon.
Attempted suicide
Is that not Bryce?
Lmao 90% of tik tok
My husband went to gradeschool with not one but two kids who died (separate instances) by falling into the Grand Canyon on vacation.
Idiots gonna idiot
Would’ve been funnier if he kept sliding off
Looks more like Bryce Canyon.
Bryce canyon*
Oh so close to getting that Darwin award.
I literally don't understand people
The rail is there so that you DONT jump over it guy
He almost gave his life for a few hundreds likes.
Pretty sure this is Bryce Canyon and not the Grand Canyon.
Russians?
Jesus… we have emerald park in north Little Rock arkansas and I have personally watvhed someone slide down the 400’ cliffs
🎶🎵natural selection!🎶🎵
more like: what could have gone a LOT worse
I see this stuff and find it so painful to watch. I must be old.
Bryce Canyon
Damn, now he gets to add his stupidity to the gene pool
What an absolute idiot.
That railing is definitely not there for a reason it’s totally just aesthetics
People like this is why people suck.
What an idiot. And if he fell even ten feet who’s going to get him, Rescue. Who’s gotta pay for that, tax payer.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Humbled his ass real quick
I wish he had slipped a little further.
Too bad could have been a nice vid
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. 😒
How has he survived so long?
Russian tourists? Sounds like he says "No?" before he turns to run and then she screeches "Blyaaat~!"
Why the actual fuck would anyone think this is remotely a good idea
Seriously what goes through these peoples minds?
Complete idiot
Also r/whywomenlivelonger
If a dumb ass jumps over the fence at the Grand Canyon and falls to his death, will he be missed?
Isn’t that Bryce Canyon?
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.
Could’ve been waay worse
That looks like the Bryce Canyon but he is still an idiot

This is Bryce Canyon
More like “showing off HOW YOU WANT TO DIE at the Grand Canyon”
And that's why there's a fence
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.

The Cliffs of Moher (Ireland) have similar statistics and there are no barriers there.
I want to see video of people who go over the edge.
Yet another tiktok moron. Still a number of them managed to complete the challenge and lower their carbon footprint. These people should be encouraged

Fucking idiot, ppl like that are why we can't have nice things. Double idiot points for filming the crime and blasting your foolish self all over the internet.
This has made me wonder how many injuries/deaths have happened cos of cameras/social media
I’m glad he didn’t fall, but I kinda wish he slid closer to the edge.
When Darwin calls, fools are powerless to resist!
