Yup. Out at Moonscape Overlook.... A GREAT area that's quickly becoming one of Utah's latest 'off the beaten path hot spots'.
Sad to see anybody take a tumble like that, but people need to realize that places like that are NOT Disneyland, and eventually, Nature --or geology-- will win.

Sad, but also Darwinism.

A wise man once said, common sense is commonly uncommon. He is not wrong...

There is something sad yet twistedly funny in that sentence.
These days my knees are unstable on a good day, if I fall it will be on good old terra firma.

Sadly it happens around the world.
At Horseshoe Bend and the Colorado river, in Page Arizona, there now is a small section of the rim that has a guardrail, but most of the rim has no guardrails to ruin the view, and it is a straight 1000 foot drop down to the bottom that no one has survived.
There have been deaths here over the years. I saw so many , mostly young folks , at on the edges, taking riskier selfies with their backs to the rims, I guess for bragging rights. And others had unsupervised kids running around near the rim edge, just crazy.
From my tripod near the edge. Sony A7RIV, Tamron 17-28mm f2.8 lens. An HDR image of five exposure-bracketed shots merged in LR. 17mm, ISO 100, f8, bracketed shutter speeds on a tripod.
Cheers and please stay safe out there. No photo or selfie is worth your life.

That is why you should obey "Stay On Trail" or "Keep On Path" signs. They were posted for a reason.

No worries here. I get a creepy crawly feeling just looking at a photo of a person near or on the edge of a precipice.

Much better. That's how I would expect a Monitor to react to a posters mistake.

A nineteen year old young man is dead, but you use your response as an opportunity to post an example of your work. I expect such crass unawareness from that suburb of Denver fellow with all the memes, but not from you.
