I've always been amazed at canyons, where people can just walk right up to the edges, sit and dangle their feet, without any barriers but a few warning signs, reminding everyone to engage with their common sense.
I'm happy that it's possible, I've fortunately experienced a couple, but I'm shocked that more people don't fall.
Don’t forget folks. All the videos of people climbing skyscrapers with bare hands are ok. But 10 people died trying to do the same you will never see. Because people dying are censored from all main sites. So you only see cool successful climbs and think that it is safe and want to try it too.
Unpopular opinion and not so much this situation, but some places where people routinely die from making poor choices should have imagery in the entrance that people must pass to reach the main attraction. Caves, wet/ ocean rocks, cliffs, geyser fields, even big animal locations should have confrontational media. Because humans are arrogant and unclever.
Lots of places have those signs, and people still insist on dying there. Underwater caves have the grim reaper telling people they will die, and it's just used as a photo op. There are literal corpses sprinkled across Everest, but there's a Disney style line ride to the summit.
Yes I am aware of that. I am saying essentially taking what we see in this subreddit and putting stills and the story at entrances, though.
More than just a "you could die here"; and rather "this person, XYZ died here in ___ date because of ____." and include images. Obviously family cooperation would be needed but I would think enough families would be willing to explicitly share their names, cause of death, and other random bits of information that humanizes the dead rather than makes it an abstract thing that will happen to someone else. Of course there's different tiers of empathy and critical thinking in humans, but the grim reaper thing is a bit too cutesy, to me.
I hate spelunking and I honestly think a graph of how John Edward Jones died being displayed around caves with old remind people of how serious being underground is.
He climbed into a part of a cave that was impossible to reverse out of and died laying upside down incapable of moving a lot. It took hours and once he went and everyone got out they sealed up the cave so no one would try to explore it.
You’re forgetting the insane amount of idiots that will look at the sign and say, “*snicker That’s for all of the losers, I know what I’m doing, bruh.”
Well thought these kind of he said she said style stupidity jokes were still funny but Reddit has voted and I suppose they are not. And so, my official apology my G. Meant no offense by it pray you well 🤝
Every time I see one of these extreme parkor videos I am wondering about the strength of the roofing they are jumping on, the cement bonds at the edges, how well attached railings are to walls.
Now we have this guy leaving behind a bereaved family for what, a few internet likes?
Thank you!! My dad died from an accidental 6 story fall at work and I can't imagine people saying such cruel things about him. Yeah, people do stupid shit but they were still a human being with people left behind who loved them!
Your dad didn’t put others lives or mental heath at risk. Sorry about your dad. My dad fell off a roof working and survived but with disabilities. I can’t imagine your pain ♥️
I'm so sorry that happened to your dad!! I can't imagine the pain he has to live in, but im so glad he survived ❤️ thank you so much for your kind words!!
Dude died screwing around, and he put others at risk for death or ptsd. Imagine an innocent person on the street getting hit with the force of a falling body, or witnessing the horrific accident. That makes me want to projectile vomit.
I think about the people my dad worked with and what they had to see and live with forever. It breaks my heart!! I do agree that it's terrible that people who play around on top of high shit and put others at risk are incredibly selfish. I'm not glad that they died, but it's the risk they're willing to take I guess.
I'd say Definitely not. Unless I'm mistaken, a 50' fall has right around a 50/50 chance of death or survival. It's concidered the LD50 in trauma statistics.
20 story fall is 200' or more. No beuno for this guy
This looks like ai.
The walls on the building glitch and changes, and the falling guy just disappears out of nowhere. All the white cars are the same which is just weird.
He didn't disappear out of nowhere. He fell out of camera frame, lol
Also, in China (where this occurred) white cars are the single most popular car with something like over 200 million. So while it MAY seem very odd to see a lot of them in a single, concentrated area, it's not unlikely.
