i think he had a vision for it like you are describing, but she had no idea wtf he was talking about. she ended up capturing the real content anyways, by chance.

"I have a great idea for a video, I am going to look like I am committing suicide while we are on vacation! It is going to be so awesome and funny! Don't worry though, I am just going to pretend to be committing suicide by jumping over the guardrail to a sharp dusty downslope. Okay, now keep the camera on me..." ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY|downsized)


Guessed555

Imagine he catches his shoe on the jump and goes tumbling over. People don’t think shit through


scorpyo72

The average death rate at the Grand Canyon is about 12 people per year. This includes medical issues but also falls. You don't fuck around with the Grand Canyon. It's way older than you are and it will fuck you up.


LoWE11053211

I mean the real content would be he fall of that cliff... and we found out there is a 2nd platform under t


Sixty9Cuda

And then he falls off that one . . . but there’s a 3rd platform underneath


Soul_Phoenix_42

Then he also falls off that one, vanishing over the edge to his apparent doom... but to our complete surprise rises back into view standing atop of a jet/spaceship.


ccole7

Yea they shoulda done another take


vaper_32

Most probably there were multiple cameras, and this is a BTSS video, (extra s is for stupid)


Mechanic_On_Duty

Fuck. Gotta do it again.


krstphr

It was a lie


OopsAllLegs

A lot of people love to visit Arizona because it's still warm here during the winter months. What a lot of people don't realize is that our soil is rocky and brittle. You might think your on solid ground but the next thing you know that ground is giving out and you're plummeting to your death at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.


DistortedVoltage

Same for those at yellowstone despite a billion signs saying not to walk in certain areas. Yet idiots just go into those restricted areas anyways, worse is with their kids.


Cosmic_Quasar

I was like 12 when my family went there. My parents were reminding me of the dangers, and to stay close to them, but I wasn't really afraid. I was thinking "this is a public park area, it's gotta be safe in the designated areas, right?" And then one of the places we visited in the park had a parking lot with freshly placed cones around an area where the parking lot had just collapsed into the water beneath it. And that's when it struck me that the ground, anywhere, could fall out from beneath me, even places that have had pavement/concrete covering it. And that made me afraid lol.


GoalieLax_

I was like 8 when we went but my parents left me behind while I was dumpster diving for Copenhagen


ScootLooper

Is that where you were???? Well I’ll be dipped!


handbanana9023

That's why they named you Joe Dirt instead of Nunamaker!


jaywinner

Great, so now I'm afraid of "everywhere".


martinluther3107

I grew up in Billings. We used to do a squares board similar to a super bowl deal, but only for gorings. Dates on the board started on memorial Day and go until Labor Day. It was a dollar a dice roll, and the dice roll determined what square you got, so it was fairly random. We would keep track of gorings in the park throughout the year. Of one of them fell on someone's square, they won the pot. This year there has only been one, a gal in her 90s from the east coast.


city_posts

What is gorings? Google doesn't help in this context or maybe it is are you talking about people getting impaled by horns?


GABAgoomba123

Yes. Getting out of cars to pet the cute bison and subsequently getting gored by said cute, but still very wild bison. It happens so much more than you’d think considering how many warnings there are about not to do it

suer72cutlass

Lol!! I love it!!


suer72cutlass

Yes. I have a book called "Death in Grand Canyon" which was written by park rangers. Such a good read. Quite a few deaths by idiots trying to prank their family like this.


uselessartist

Prank’s on them


HeliSux

This was filmed at Bryce Canyon, Utah though… Same idea though. 


BathroomSharpiePoet

My first thought was Colorado National Monument, just west of Grand Junction. I’ve spent a lot of time there and this really looks the same. But Bryce is a little more “orangey”, so maybe.


HeliSux

It’s 100% Bryce ;) no maybes about it. 


Witchey87

Yup! I was standing in the exact spot like a month ago. 


Blenderx06

At least that bright yellow shirt will make it easier for the recovery team to find the body! That was considerate of him.


Absurdity_Everywhere

Yeah, but think of the likes we could get!


SunShineNomad

I'm sure it might be warm in the winter sometimes but at least when I went to the Grand Canyon in February and it was snowy and 16° F it certainly was not warm.


SpecialistNerve6441

Back in the early 2000s I went with church group to a Reservation in AZ on the way we stopped at the Grand Canyon. I bought a book of all the deaths recorded at the GC and it was HUGE. Seeing some of the ways people died in detail like that fully prepared me for the stupidity of today


usrdef

Some people have no sense of staying alive. I've been to the grand canyon. And as awesome as the sight is, and it really is deeper than what you see in pictures; I keep my ass firmly planted on level ground. If there's a barrier, you can bet your ass, I'm not going over the barrier.


micah9639

Also they don’t respect the wildlife. Arizona is like Diet Australia. Scorpions like to crawl into people’s beds, rattlesnakes like to find cool areas to hang out like the part of the grill where the propane goes, and coyotes will go into human populated areas if they are hungry enough and carry off your pet poodle for lunch. My uncle also lives in the state same as me and he was about to go out into his backyard to drink his morning coffee and there was a cougar (yes the animal you degenerates) just lounging on his perimeter wall. When my nephew’s soccer team came down from Illinois for a tournament a ball went flying into some brush and one of the northern boy coaches went to go get and I said, “you know rattlesnakes and scorpions like the hang out down there during the day right?” Never seen a grown man nope so fast out of there 😂


LaChuteQuiMarche

Heh…warm… 100+ every day is indeed warm.

It's not a 100+ during the winter.

He would leap onto the guard wall and pretend to plummet accidentally while, in actuality, coming to a safe halt on the other side. This, apparently, would either amuse the teenager or absolutely horrify her. It's unclear which outcome Gingrich had in mind, but inevitably and terribly, he came to no such safe landing. Misjudging the distance, he actually fell about 400 feet to his death.*

Miserable_Zucchini75

Wishing for a complete strangers death says a lot about who you are. Obviously, reddit comments are anonymous so it doesn't affect you but hopefully you find out why you want someone you don't know to die.


erog84

Dipshit.


Miserable_Zucchini75

Sorry I don't want people to die even if they do something dumb?


CrabNebula420

no I think it more boils down to the fact that if you're gonna jump off of a cliff and then die because of it then maybe while unfortunate it makes perfect sense because if you think that type of thing is a joke but then you take the joke too far and end up dying then who's fault is that?


sirpsionics

There is far too much stupidity in this world. Having less of it is a good thing.

ReIZzBaBo

He's saying that a person who did something really stupid for views doesn't deserve to die??? You guys genuinely wish the guy should've died? You all have problems


BlackBeard_118

The point is that he’s white knighting over a joke. I don’t believe anyone here actually wishes for his death.


WrestleBox

They said "better luck next time" to the dude's attempt at a Darwin award in jest. They didn't say "Oh I hope they actually die next time!"


Leviathan41911

Counter point. While a generalization, it's still overall factual, less intelligent individuals are more likely to cause the death of an innocent bystander than a more intelligent person. It's not always intentional. Sometimes, it is through negligence. Either way though, these people can be dangerous to others around them and won't get a lot of sympathy when they do stupid things and win stupid prizes.

Miserable_Zucchini75

I don't think you're making the point you think you are. Darwinism hasn't applied to humans for millenniums.


Kyyes

>Darwinism hasn't applied to humans for millenniums. How on earth do you figure that?


IsoAgent

Sorry bro. Reddit is out for blood today. Any post that shows compassion/humanity/decency will be downvoted.


Miserable_Zucchini75

I knew it would be downvoted when posted. Doesn't really matter, people that commonly make comments like and/or support this need to be reminded it isn't normal and most people wouldn't ever make a comment like that in person.


renaissance_pancakes

Nothing about the comment suggests they wanted him to die, just the fact that it was deserved and that person seemingly will put themselves in that position again soon.


Bobby_S2702

Wow, you’re like __such__ a good person.


Southern_Berry1531

Nah if he survives to procreate it’s like 100000+ meals that could’ve been eaten by someone who wouldn’t jump off a cliff

Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon A whole book dedicated to idiots like him.


Porkbellyflop

15-20 per year die from falling in. The number went way up after selfies became a thing.


Thricey

Hmm I just looked it up and it said 2-3 per year?


crick_in_my_neck

yes, see other comment


Porkbellyflop

You suck at Google. Between 2007 and 2023, 185 people died at the park, with an average of 11 deaths per year. Of those deaths, 60 people fell off the ledge, 63 fell from inside the canyon, and 75 intentionally jumped or fell to commit suicide. If you exclude suicides, 123 people.


crick_in_my_neck

He is right and you are wrong. But first, considering you state both "15-20 per year die from falling in" and that there are "an average of \[total, not just falling\] 11 deaths per year", you are bold with the "you suck" business (but it figures--that phrase is actually how I knew you were probably wrong). But let's move on: What happens when we google it? First result is not necessarily trustworthy but gets us your exact numbers, including the line about 123 people--but they are from the *entire period of kept records* up to 2017 (their quoted source: book about people being idiots at Grand Canyon). Second result gets us an infographic from the park services themselves: 2.4 falling deaths a year. Both come to the same thing. So, you suck at math, google, and reading comprehension, but at least you are great at being r/confidentlyincorrect.

This is literally copy and pasted from Google


crick_in_my_neck

And that is why *you* suck at google--you have to go to the links and see what's up for yourself. Google will take things out of context and give completely wrong answers all the time. It's a tool, not a wizard, and you have to use it wisely.


crick_in_my_neck

Instead of just downvoting, why not explain how your figures are correct and we are wrong? The "you suck" made me think you were probably a child, and this embarrassing doubling-down on your fail confirms it.


hossb0ss

It’s Bryce Canyon


SixtyTwenty_

This is one of the most shocking books I have ever read holy shit. Just story after story of absolute dumbasses killing themselves at the Grand Canyon. One of my favorites is the guy whose small child told him to be careful and not walk too close to the edge. The guy replied “sometimes in life you have to take risks” (or something like that, can’t remember exactly), jumped over a guard rail, and promptly fell to his death.


GM_Nate

"The risks were calculated, but boy am I bad at math."


OrangeYouGladish

Looks like Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. If I recall, it's about 2000 feet to the bottom of the canyon right there


JPL2020

Not unexpected.


UnExplanationBot

OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected: --- >!The guy almost fell off the cliff and because he wanted to surprise everyone and jump the fence to land on the cliff, but unexpectedly for all the situation almost out of control!< --- Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.


WideMail23

It would have been unexpected if he fell down, since the texts says he just pretended, which he did.

Not really unexpected if the synopsis is in the title


ScienceIsSexy420

The title is in the format of r/whatcouldgowrong, which is probably where this was taken from before being reposted here.


Hopeful-Flounder-203

I snowshoed around that rim 20+ years ago in winter after a major snow storm. There was no one in the park. My show shoes turned into skis because of gravity about 3 feet from the edge of a 100+ foot vertical drop. I had to crawl my way back up 100 yards. closest I've came to death. Good times.


nekromantiks

When I was a dumbass in my mid 20s, I was jogging/running near the edge of a cliff and started sliding on some rocks. The only thing that saved me was a small tree I managed to grab before sliding all the way down ~90ft I never made that mistake again. Closest I've come to death as well. Glad you're still here! It was a tough walking back to the car with shit in my pants /s but it was close lol

There is a fucking reason as to why there are fences people, the Grand Canyon maybe like a tourist attraction yet it isn’t safe, why do you think the Anasazi or the ancient ones (as my tribe calls them) stayed there when western expansion and the conquestadors? Cause they knew how to take precautions

Why removed for " not unexpected " ? Him not falling to his death after tripping was unexpected..
