😂😂

Pretty sure she died from the Coronavirus.

She better learn her lesson

Okay

She deserves a statue or monument to teach the dangers of selfies to future visitors

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Sad

A human being has died. In what world are twitter comments mocking this encouraged ? We always have to put ourselves in other people’s shoes and have empathy and the ability to see things from multiple perspectives.

Bet it was a selfie 🤦‍♂️

why is this so common?

This is why there are rules and regulations that you need to follow for your safety. Wear a mask

Was she wearing a mask?

Thats gotta hurt.

darwinism

I'm sad & mourn.

And the daily Darwin Award goes to....

More deaths?

This happens at least once a year

dammit trump

She won’t be doing that again!

Ok now they will close the park as racist ! Hahahha it isn’t safe to go to the park. Is No one is responsible for their Actions?

That’s her dumb self.

Too bad she died, but that’s why they’ve created created paths. They created them for your safety.

Your life isn't worth that one great shot. So sad.

2000 ft bouncing off rocks

Did this happen recently? Apparently there was another lady who fell prior to her.

darwin

Is there no end to stupid stuff done by stupid people

The stones at the Grand Canyon are very slippery. Be careful.

Can’t believe she fell, for that. Hope that picture was worth dying for. Now we know she won’t be doing that again!

Corona virus strikes again. Wear a mask people!!!

Yeh, rules and directions are never adhered to by liberals! That’s why warning labels have to be put on hot coffee!

Covid19*

I propose that they build an electric fence around the edge. Everyone should be issued shock collars upon entrance.

that’s weird, wile e. coyote never dies falling in the canyon. he just walks around like an accordion until the next scene

Happens every year.

Can we see the photos?

You can’t cure stupid 🧏‍♀️🤳

Was it a picture to die for...?

Did she get the pic

Damn..... I hope she had her mask on.

Taking photos of the Grand Canyon is the most absurd thing to do. It’s literally too grand too large to be photographed. Just enjoy the vistas.

People cause their own problems.

ABC did you actually report this accurately, are you sure she wasn't pushed

So sad... 😢 — It seems she was not paying attention. 😢

But was she white? That’s the important question.

I say we fill it in so this can not happen again 😡

When there are enough idiots to fill a book, you'd think people would be more careful

Those zoom lenses are tricky.

Keep your human on a leash at all times.

Do it for Instagram
