And another will die for the same reason within 6 months.
This is just plain stupidity at this point.

Lol it's incredible to witness.
I don't mind memento-type stuff, but let's be real, that's not what most selfies are or are for.Well current trends notwithstanding, it's a quick way for solo travelers to take a shot in front of landmarks, not necessarily about vanity.
book smarts (intelligence) is different than street smarts (common sense)
I have met countless people in my life who have the first, but not the second (although of course it's possible to have both)
In her mind she probably thought she was 100 percent, but anything could happen even a simple slip up. I just think it's counter productive to call these people stupid or idiot when this can happen to anyone. Just hope we can learn from this and prevent as many accidents as possible.Is it an accident if you willfully put yourself in a dangerous position and then double down on it by not giving 100 percent of your attention to the dangerous situation you've put yourself in?
It's happened far more than just acouple times.
And that's correct even if you meant just this location or falling from selfies.
If you don't know then you might as well rely on the various stories covering it, including the OP in this very topic, which referenced social media. Regardless of that, it's not an outrageous speculation to assume social media involvement so I'm not sure why you'd be arguing against it.I don't know what her motivation was enough to speculate on it.
There's a Sioux City IA, a North Sioux City SD, and a Sioux Falls SD, but no Sioux City SD.
That's in Sioux City IA. My childhood home actually had a great view of it.
jesus christThat looks like exactly the type of person I imagine would die taking a selfie. Darwinism at its finest. Damn.
if nobody cares do you really think people would be trying to do this stuff?
right?
That looks like exactly the type of person I imagine would die taking a selfie. Darwinism at its finest. Damn.
Because it *is* speculation. People are attributing toxic "selfie culture" or whatever as a contributor to her death and then swinging it around like she somehow got what was coming to her for being so "stupid". Instead of saying "what a horrible accident, I feel bad for the family", people are railing on her for being an idiot. A woman who just wanted to take a picture and is now dead, leaving behind family and friends.If you don't know then you might as well rely on the various stories covering it, including the OP in this very topic, which referenced social media.

That comment is not surprising when that shit has been happening the entire thread. Allow people to come in and call a dead woman stupid or an idiot, that's the type of comment you get.
At least they worked up the courage to say how they really feel.Because it *is* speculation.

What exactly about this person screams Darwin award to you, judging by the picture?I'm not saying it isn't awful that she died. I would think that goes without saying, however I haven't read the whole thread. It sounds like it hasn't been so great.
At sites like this I hope they clearly have signage that says people have died taking pictures from dangerous spots. Just anything that would make someone think twice. Saying "danger" isn't enough. Could have been totally avoided. The poor girl had her whole life ahead of her, I just can't be cold regarding this because younger people think they're invincible. It's just the way it is and some careless mistakes while having fun can be fatal.
How hard is it not to be reckless, in the name of a photo?

Multiple news stories about this have said that's what it was for. I think you're just arguing for the sake of arguing.Because it *is* speculation.

I'm not calling her an idiot or stupid. I'm saying the act of endangering one's own life over a selfie is beyond fucking stupid. Smart people do dumb things all the time. Unfortunately for some, it costs them their lives and now she serves as a cautionary tale to others.That was my point. Calling her stupid and an idiot is pointless because this can happen to anyone smart or dumb if they don't have the life experience. Sometimes people just never able to learn that for themselves :(

Taking a selfie does not equate to Darwin award for dying taking a selfie.Darwin Award is dying taking a selfie.
After seeing her picture in the OP it just seemed like someone who would take a lot of selfies. If you showed me a line up of people and said "which of these died taking a selfie" I'd maybe pick her.
Taking a selfie does not equate to Darwin award for dying taking a selfie.
So again
What about that picture, in your mind, screams Darwin award
Only the possibility of falling off a cliff.What would even be the problem of her taking a picture for likes?
That looks like exactly the type of person I imagine would die taking a selfie. Darwinism at its finest. Damn.
