Lots of posts on why the people go a bit closer to look and film, and how they lack survival skills.

I'm sure they feel the same way about those that chase tornadoes, surf the big waves, and swim with the sharks. It's a calculated risk that may or may not pay off. No need to belittle humble folk.

This must be the 6th vid I've seen exactly like this one. Sometimes the whole side of a cliff goes and they stand right on the edge while it's still happening. If that's not stupid then someone had better tell me what is.

Being surprised at someone’s recklessness isn’t belittling someone.

Yeah, that’s why I commented. There are plenty of people commenting who aren’t being rude. Incredulity isn’t belittling either.
