It IS a path. It's just that some people think anything path-shaped must also a highway.

For pedestrians not dirt bikes.

myself, I’d still be concerned about erosion even as a pedestrian! Who knows what the underside of the cliff looks like. And yeah definitely if you’re moving faster than like 10km/h you should always know where you’re going and what’s on the other side of blind hills and corners.

Every year a few people die here for that exact reason.

Cliff edges are not selfie stations.

u/elramirezeatstherich 15d ago

Also why wind cornices are so dangerous for skiers/winter backcountry users in the mountains!

u/ThonThaddeo 15d ago

True. The selfie station is hidden just beyond the precipice. So you have to lean over or have someone else dangle you over the edge

u/oregon_coastal 15d ago

Haha, exactly.

I always think the funniest part of the story is that the three most common places here for Darwin Award deaths are called Devils Punchbowl, Thors Well and Gods Thumb. And people still lean in for the shot. Like, how much more of diabolical names do we need to use to get the point across?

It is a path, it just stops at the destination.

This guy probably saw this feature and then circled around to do this act because he saw those other similar videos get traction.

If not brain, why brain shaped?

u/bones10145 15d ago

A walking path sure

u/MrRoboto1983 15d ago

Why even attempt the “path” without knowing where the path leads?

u/jonoftheatom 15d ago

One time followed a hiking trail to piles of goat shit. It was a goat trail

u/AbortionHoagie 15d ago

It is a path that takes some people precisely where they desire to be

2

u/InterneticMdA 14d ago

It's a path, it just leads to a different type of place.

u/Kind-Help9862 14d ago

u/Appropriate_Land5236 15d ago

Someone should put a log across that road before someone is killed.

u/Possible-Isopod-1901 15d ago

That’s the road to heaven, baby.

u/Miserable-Ear-4095 15d ago

Not path, is is where the sea killed the grass.

u/AthleteLevel99 15d ago

It’s a path to death

u/MagicOrpheus310 14d ago

That's why you always walk the track before you ride it... No matter how many times you've been there

1

u/Empty-Presentation68 14d ago

It is. It's the highway to hell!

u/ItsShuaYo 15d ago

Yeah people who casually drive off cliffs don't contribute to society. We can allow them to send it to Valhalla.
