he was trying to take a photograph and fell off a cliff. you might be shocked to find he ignored and bypassed a security cordon to reach the ultimate photo op spot.

quote:

He was posing for a mid-leap photo when he fell off Machu Picchu mountain, which overlooks the ancient Incan citadel of the same name.

...

By the time rescuers reached the tourist about an hour and a half later, the man was dead, Mestas said. His body was removed from the mountainside and taken by train to a morgue in Cusco on Thursday night

-- Washington Post

that sounds like a really sweet photo at least - mid-leap ?? wowzers. i guess you could say he did it for the gram :rip:

He jumped into the air, and not realizing it was International Cartoon Day, the earth rotated under him slightly so that he was over a crevasse when he came down.

Every year they come here to Phoenix in July, when natives are trying to leave the goddamn place, and every year they try to hike Camelback Mountain at noon and every year one of them dies. Goddamn Germans.

I fell off Machu Picchu last year. The climb back to the top is a bitch, not surprising he chose to die instead.

Maybe don't go into restricted areas with warnings posted that you might die, otherwise you'll probably die. Simple solutions to simple problems.
