Two people fell off of Hawksbill Crag in Arkansas in one week not long ago. Nice photo I’m sure.

Best to physically mount the camera.....

Or get someone else (https://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag77/Penderic/Penderic008/nuts2_zpsvt4cpdmi.gif)er to take the risk.

I liked the girl chuckling in the foreground as the photo pair wiped completely out on the rocks ... !

I'd chuckle too. Then see if I could help with the first aid because I'm sure there was some!

Happens here all the time Tom. Idiots falling down blowholes, falling off cliffs, getting eaten by crocs, bitten by snakes etc. The world is stuffed full of stupid!

We've got a pretty spot called Crabtree Falls about a 45 minute ride from my house; mountain stream tumbling down over the rocks.

Despite warning signs, fences, skull-and-crossbones, and tons of warnings, THIRTY (30) people, mostly college students from the various Lynchburg schools, have died here in the past few years. They all climb out and up onto the wet rocks to "get a picture", don't realize how slick and steep it is, and fall to their deaths.

How stupid do you have to be?
