it wasn't hard to collect photos for this subject. It seems if there's something that's so dangerous that a mistake could result in death, there will be people who will try it anyhow.

Exhibit 1

I think we've already talked about this woman, but she would have won second place if I would have taken a photo, so she deserves a place in the spotlight.There was a family of Koreans taking photographs. They thought it would be a good idea if Mom (who, by our best estimation, was about 70 years old), went to the very edge of the rim and did some posing for the camera! The other couple that was there, besides us, did the exact same thing as us-gasped and quickly walked away because we were so sure she was going over the edge. A short time later at another location, we ran into her again, perched on the edge on 1 foot and both hands in the air! If she slipped, or the dirt gave way, it was an 800 foot tumble down the rocks to the canyon floor. I should have taken a photo of her, but she gave me the willies just thinking about it!
Exhibit 2

Picture this. It's 33*C in the glaring sun in the desert. You're a male in your early 30's and you're wearing a pair of shorts and some cheap flip flops. Your female counterpart is in super short shorts, flip flops and has wrapped something around her head and shoulders. You don't have hats or water or even a camera. I guess that's good because when you fall or collapse, you're going to need both hands. You see a sign for a hike and decide you don't want to miss anything, so you head out on the hike.Make up your own ending here, because we were too stunned to take a photo.
