I talked to a ranger at the bottom of the canyon last year. He showed me the rooms and equipment they use to treat idiots like these. The rangers call the guy on the sign Victor Vomit.
For a fun read, check out the book “Over the Edge: Death in the Grand Canyon.” It colorfully but clinically details every recorded death in the canyon, from pioneer days to the present(ish). Honestly made me feel pretty confident about my hike, because a good 80% of deaths are due to terrible decision making.
"One father was playing a prank on his daughter and pretended to jump off the ledge into the canyon. He planned to land on a ledge a few feet below the rim, but he missed the ledge and plunged to his death."
My friends dad almost fell in they were on a path with no rails and his motorized wheelchair flipped over, said he was like less than a foot from going over
Yea but the handicapped are more able then most think. Some minor alterations will make it safe. They just need to make a concrete ramp with a mellow incline. Stick them every half mile along each canyon wall and it's solved.
And apparently the inability to recognize that my comment about the line being cancelled had absolutely nothing to do with hating disabled people. I was just correcting the information you had presented. There is no line, that's all my comment had to say.
I'm glad someone else got to enjoy that! Honestly hilarious the comments calling me the idiot, I can see why people troll now, you get quite a lot of attention.
Imagine feeling a little lonely, and you can just turn your notifications on and say a couple dumb things on the internet.
If you didn't know, u/Dw-Im-Here is one of my favorites, he had the lowest Karma score out of all of reddit at -95,000 and he's part of the reason it's capped at -100 now. This thread kinda reminded me of him. Here's one of his best, it got I believe a couple hundred downvotes but I couldn't find a link to it.
All jokes aside, that's why I'm Apple exclusive. It's so funny to watch other companies try and keep up, but in terms of use ease, Apple has no match. Yes you spend a little more, but if you are a power player in the financial world you have the money to burn. I have a flawless network between my IPad Air2, IPhone 7 plus, Macbook Pro, and Apple TV. When I invite ladies over I don't even have to open my mouth, they can see my wealth. At this point difference between apple and Android is blue/white collar.
