I went to the Grand Canyon a few years ago and I was shocked at what people did in order to get a photo. People sitting right on the edge with their legs dangling. People standing with their backs to the canyon as they were being photographed. It bothered me so much that I had to leave. I am surprised someone doesn’t fall every day. I saw the same thing at horseshoe bend. At horseshoe bend i saw little kids 2-3 years old running near the edge and not being supervised correctly. It is mind boggling. Same mentality of people that walk right up to wild bison for photos.

There is no amount of money in the world that could get me out on that glass skyway. Since so many people are interested in this post, I would like to mention that more people die from dehidration in the canyon than do from falling. They underestimate the conditions and start walking down into the canyon.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the World through Him. For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord, and All who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. " If you want to be sure of Heaven and avoid the other place below say the following prayer sincerely from your heart." Lord Jesus I repent and am sorry for my sins forgive me.

I went to the grand canyon in 2010, there were at least 6 young men climbing around outside the rails in several spots. I asked a ranger about it and he said , If I tell them to come back, they just go around the corner and do it again. I even saw a small child clamboring around a chain link fence that was washed out underneath. His parents were oblivious, I called to him to please come back to the sidewalk , which he did with a big smile and the parents said something nasty to me.

Believe it or not, it’s possible to survive that if something cushions your fall, though not much to do that in a canyon made of sandstone with lots of iron in it. The farthest someone has fallen without a parachute and survived is 33,330 feet after a suitcase bomb blew up the plane she was on. In WW2 Alan Magee fell 22,000 feet from a B-17 and survived by falling through a glass window.

How horrible for the victim and those that witnessed this accident. My first trip to the canyon as a child decades ago, someone got too close to the edge in order to take a picture and slipped and fell to their death. Please be safe people.

That had to have been a horrible thing to witness. No child should have to see it, but I can tell that it taught you a valuable lesson in respect and safety. I’m in Kentucky, and there are beautiful attractions in our foothills of the Appalachian mountains & Red River Gorge areas. Each year, healthy, strong, experienced hikers get lost, fall to their death, become severely injured with treacherous terrain to rescue them from, and get them out of. There are like 700,000 acres of wilderness, and It absolutely blows my mind that parents won’t hold onto their children when they visit. Last time we went to Natural Bridge, a group of first graders were there for a school trip! I thought I’d have a panic attack while voluntarily helping to watch them! Some places do not need a group of excited children, walking around excitedly, without an adult to hold each of their little curious hands! Adults are apt enough to slip or trip and fall. I think that was the first time that heights have ever bothered me, because up until then, I feared nothing like that.

But since engineering requirements overrode any science requirements by about 98.3%, i also realized I didnt give a crap that I didnt understand science.

Due to thermals in that area the man was blown away from the cliffs and into the Colorado River. He landed directly on a crocodile which the Native Americans had christened Fat Larry due to it's size. Larry the crocodile was crushed to death instantly and as a result of it's injuries the Natives changed it's name, before giving the Crocodile a tribal send off. Flat Larry was 72 when he died!

A few years back I hiked Upper Yosemite Falls. For those unfamiliar, there is a railed-off viewing area carved into the granite cliff on one side of Yosemite Creek. The other side is a cliff-like granite face. I saw some dude out of the corner of my eye shimmying out on his rear end on the rock face trying to look over the side of the upper falls, which is about 1400 feet high. The Lower Falls is another 1000 feet if the first 1400 feet wasn't enough to discourage him. I couldn't even watch - I just turned around and walked away since the roar of the creek would have drowned out any other noise anyway.

“…officials launched a rescue effort immediately…”. What were they going to rescue? The guy fell 4,000 feet. That is more than ¾ of a mile or more than three times the height of the Empire State Building.

No way he fell 4,000 feet. Even the description of the Skywalk says it's 500 to 800 feet above the canyon floor. Either the news media got it wrong or intentionally dramatized it. The highest point is over 4,000 feet above sea level, so the reporter must have misunderstood and didn't bother to verify it.

But I remember staring out across the Grand Canyon and down it and there’s something inside that makes you want to jump. Not because you wanna die, but like, you want to just sore like an Eagle and fly over it. Yes, I know we cannot fly, but what I’m saying is there’s definitely something that pulls you to jump off of it. You have to fight that feeling. It’s weird.

We got to the Grand Canyona and we had tickets for the SkyWalk. It was a breeze. I thought I would have to cancel but the floor was thick glass, with thick glass up to your shoulders. Plus no houses or road below to really see how high up you are. Its like in a plane, you have walls and a window to not fall out but look out. We were out on the SkyWalk for 30 minutes Sept 21 2023
