As terrible as that makes me sound, I laughed a little. I usually have little sympathy when people do extremely stupid things, and this pretty much one of the top. I mean being so distracted by your phone near a 60 feet cliff?

We should make a tetris game like that, people waling off the cliff and falling in different position.

who cares there is like billions of people out there. if 10% of the fall off the cliff it would not be so bad !

This one was luckier. Maybe the guy from CA learned from this Alaska woman?

It's a shame. Sad.


This stuff is a lot more fun when it is someone walking into a fountain in a mall...
