  • I’m not sure what’s weirder.. the fact that someone fell into the Grand Canyon, or a man made out of hickory.
  • lol 5 days ago the news was reporting on the new safety precautions at the grand canyon. Didnt even take a week for someone to embrace nature
  • There is a great book they sell at the gift shop. It's called over the edge death in Grand canyon. Definitely a good read before you go see it.

    If there's an investigation underway, why did you report it as accidental?

    Stay. Away. From. The. Ledge. People never learn.

    During 3 of my visit there, i saw many who could instantly fall into the Grand canyon, wearing flip flops standing/ sitting on the edge full of tiny rocks
  • Investigation: he got to close to the edge trying to take a picture and fell in…investigation done

    wow he was so young. i've been to that overlook. it was my favorite view of the canyon. may he rest in peace
  • I have always wondered if we Americans have a mechanical brain. Comments vindicate me.

    Don't stand close to the edge. I just remember how my brain & body felt stepping on those glass floors & seeing open space. It almost makes you dizzy & lose balance.
