47 years old, lulz. they should have left him there as a warning to others to stay the fuck off the fences 

As soon as I saw this story I sent it to my wife's cousin (no pics), because ... she was drunk af one night after partying in Austin 20+ years ago. When the partying ended, she and her friends returned to her apartment complex only to find the gate broken. Couldn't get the car in. No problem. They parked the car and started climbing the fence to get to her apt. In her drunk-af-ness, she slipped after getting one leg over the fence, managing to impale herself on one of those spikes, with - get this - the spike entering through the back of her knee and exiting the front. And there she was stuck like that until Fire and EMS showed up. 100% true csb.

You'd love this book.  So many examples of death by misadventure.  I love that coroners call it that because "death by your own stupidity" is just too undignified. 

There's also this one, from the Grand Canyon:

We went a couple of years ago, during the heart of the pandemic.  Winter, snow, icy conditions.  It was beautiful, but we also talked a lot about how hazardous many of the places were.  Daughter found the book in the gift shop, bought it, and then proceeded to read all the stories aloud to us in the car.

Does it say terrible things about our family that we laughed at several of them?

We were there the last week of December 2020.  Same conditions.  All I could envision is one of my kids or wife (no pics) falling off a cliff.

Yep, we were there right after you -- we had New Year's eve dinner in Flagstaff, and were in the park by that night.  It really was a great trip, and an amazing time to be there.  But yeah, the icy trails next to a bazillion foot drop were a tad unnerving.

The day its not okay to laugh at stupidity is the day that comedy is dead and the world can burn as far as I'm concerned.

We were at at Bed and Breakfast in Flagstaff and the owner recommended going off the beaten path to Shoshone Point.  Its a park and hike place.  Probably a little over a mile.  Incredible experience with snow on the ground.  When we got there, I think there were maybe 4 or 5 other people there.  I had to convince her to go out toward the edge.  She scooted on her butt the last 10 yards.  Sorry to derail... and yes, i had the camera on a timer.

I wonder how many of those falling deaths are because the person taking the camera jokingly says "Take a couple of steps back so I can get you in the picture" and the person does and falls off the cliff?

 

Hilarious!!
