Woman falls to her death at Grand Canyon

Park officials say the 70-year-old fell about 200 feet after going over the edge.

I've been to the Grand Canyon. I walked down to Six Mile Point & walked back, it's a rough path, but if you stay on the path, you don't really get near the edge where you just fall off. You need to really walk out further off the path to really be in danger of going over. Park's Rangers will tell you the same thing. These people were just stupid.

That hike ain't as easy as you think.

There are worse places to die... I mean at least you had a beautiful view and gave the family quite a story to tell. If you had to pick wasting away to death in some hospital or home vs this..I think this wins.

callous.

[@MarkMphonoman]

We were at the south Rim a week after this woman fell. Everyone was talking about it.

It's not hard to do...your equilibrium get thrown off for a split second and whiiieee...... .

[@kevinmalone3210]

To be 70 yrs old, which means you had to be something right to get to that age, only to fall off a trail into the Grand Canyon? I don't get it. I would think just using some common sense would prevent you from falling off a cliff.

Or maybe someone was pushing certain people to their deaths

[@rockystelone21]

Honestly.....I had to laugh at this one

[@hustlemotivatetrucking8317]

Why I'm I laughing

[@cerberuscounts9053]

Its all old people

[@bobe3250]

I guess that's something you can look forward to in your old age isn't it.

Wow that's sad. Maybe they should put in a lot more fences up.

[@Vizinger]

Would be better to remove the existing fences also. Help stupid people on their way....

[@thomaslavin3640]

Block off all high fall areas. ..& start giving out big fines 2 people bieng reckless & stupid....

[@BeholdenYeti]

Have you ever been? If you have then you'd know it is impossible to block off all high up areas considering it is a CANYON. Now the fines thing isn't a bad idea but people need to understand that there is not much more the park can do about people dying.

ABOLISH THE GRAND CANYON... IF IT SAVES JUST 1 LIFE IT IS WORTH IT

[@angelasepi657]

Abolish you for making such a statement.

[@TheDarrlelennis]

Sometimes you don't have to ask or see the nationality of deaths. You just need to here the cause of the death and you automatically know their race

[@kristenvangemert1333]

Should I assume your race by the way you spell? What a stupid comment.

Death trap
