Subject: Man Falls 4,000 Feet From Grand Canyon “SkyWalk”
Written By: LyricBoy on 06/17/23 at 2:11 pm
A tourist at the Grand Canyon somehow managed to fall from the “Skywalk” observation deck, to the bottom of the canyon 4000 feet below.

A rescue mission was sent to the canyon bottom to treat him, but when they got there, they discovered that he had expired before they got there. :-\\

Someone was obviously not being very careful.. :o
When I was there a couple months ago, I was extremely careful whenever I got near the rim.

There is no way you can fall down there just by accident. That guy must have climbed around on the railing or jumped deliberately.

Or maybe he climbed on top to get an unobstructed selfie, then accidentally fell off. :o

People need to be cautious about doing things like that.

I cannot imagine a person falling for the Skywalk, for there barriers to prevent such an occurrence, I have been there (back in 2013), and to climb the barrier would be a struggle, and there are attendants keeping a close watch on the visitors.

On my my visit, all personal cameras and phones had to be placed in a locker, and all photographs were taken by professional staff, and the photos purchased before leaving.

Quickly, with an acceleration rate of 9.8 meters/second/second.

Isn't that the standard acceleration rate of falling?
Actually, it is... but the term is known as "standard gravity" according to Wiki.

When I was there just a couple months ago, I remember seeing some barriers along the trail of the South Rim. I don't think I got to the Skywalk, though.

Haven’t seen any reports about anything. I imagine the autopsy of whatever was left of this guy called the cause of death blunt force trauma.

The inquest will be on how it happened, witness statements, etc.
