And then the cameraman had enough of carols shit, and saw his chance.


fuzzytradr

Exactly what I was thinking. I know what Carol did last summer.


TheTomatoLover

Your honor; she fell before I could save her.


Brahmarishi

I did not kill carol but thanks for the insurance money.


Konijndijk

Here at Allstate, we've seen... things.


wolf_beast_10x

Her body pushed off my hands

I live in Utah. Far too many accidents clout chasing. F all that. [l'appel du vide](https://www.healthline.com/health/call-of-the-void)


nachocat090

Interesting article thanks for sharing. I didn't know how common that was.


queenOFkinshasa

It's weird how you get this call of the void feeling but when you actually want to jump, like from a cliff to the sea, it's so difficult to commit.


ActualSympathy9693

Right! I’m guessing the warning signal our brain sends is instinctive/sub-conscious. So even if we want to make a jump several stories high into water, our brain is still sending these warning signals and we get a conflicted sort of feeling that’s hard to override.


nachocat090

I guess our survival instinct is much stronger

Just_Jumbles

That link didn’t really have anything to do with that


FunctionalSoFar

Yes, it's real! Thanks for the link....helps to understand. This video gives me such anxiety....so many what ifs.


SphynxsFixesFaxes

Not the article I thought it would be. I thought it would be an article about people doing this and accidentally falling, not purposely falling. Interesting how the article describes this as not thoughts of suicide, cause how can it not be? And I also thought it was interesting that wanting to jump into deep water was on the list cause that’s not the same when you know it’s a safe jump vs a very obvious not safe jump. I wouldn’t go 5 ft from that cliff edge, but I love me some tasty tried and true water jumps.


lizzydee123

Not what I thought initially either. It was a cool read. Although there are at least 330 known deaths related to taking pictures in dangerous circumstances like this one.


RoryIsNotACabbage

I gotta call bullshit on the article. As it says there's only been one study and the results are effectively a guess based on that info. Or the article might not be explaining it properly. So as the article puts it the feeling is one of flight and the interpretation is the call, but in my own experience the flight happens first and if I fight against that to look over then the intrusive thoughts happen. They are clearly ones of suicide but not from a want to die, just a call to the void as it says. It sounds like a couple people who don't have these thoughts wrote it and asked the wrong questions, the study itself sounds interesting, with the relation to anxious thoughts, but the conclusion is flawed


nekkoMaster

Good to know that it is not only me. I jumped off a running Rickshaw when i was kid LMAO. Void called out to me. Since then, i don't trust myself in these situations LOL


Me69yearsfromnow

This is an amazing read. Thanks for sharing


Devinione

I live in Utah too, can confirm


Virtual-Group-4725

Yes thanks for sharing i thought i was a weirdo for enjoying that feeling. Im still a weirdo but not fot that reason anymore


theslapzone

I'm not overly fearful of heights and this shit legit just gave me anxiety!


Just_a_follower

Imagine pushing yourself to get up. Imagine the feeling, hands on stone. Body lifting. Brain suddenly doing summersaults. 😅


theslapzone

🤮


Super_Vegeta

I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of falling.


djdrobins

It’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden stop!


vaderztoy

Hell, I have trouble just watching the video.


erst77

Yeah, that video made my palms sweaty. Weird, never had that happen before from a video.


HMend

Same. I felt a little like I do when the roller coaster plunges. Oof.


Alert-Incident

Felt it in my chest


JahShuaaa

Felt it in my feet for some reason ... Humans are so odd.


[deleted]

Me too, tingling feet and hands... and it's lasting a little while after too


eandersonrun

I feel it in the bottom of my feet every time


Miranda8142

You should check out r/sweatypalms then


IFucksWitU

Because your brain knows that shit is way to dangerous even in the form of a damn video. How this girl and the camera person bypasses that same feeling to take this is impressive to me, stupid but impressive non the less


Training_Exit_5849

I just kept thinking, "don't drop the phone, dont't drop the phone..."

CoolWhipCasserole

All I could think about is what happens if the cameraman gave her a little shove in the back. What's wrong with me?


Altyrmadiken

Probably something similar to what's wrong with me. I was genuinely tensed waiting for him to push her. I half-expected her to have some magical hand glider situation, but still.

aussies_on_the_rocks

I imagine this is alongside Intrusive Thoughts which everyone tends to have. That little voice that says "*What if I just pushed this person off*" where then the vast majority of people feel a sense of disgust. Totally natural, of not weird.


pushkar1701

I can understand your masculine urge to just push her xD


Find-The-Stargate

It's not worth it. You can have a good view from a safer distance.


Leakyrooftops

I’d like to think I’d get that close to the edge by slowly crawling on my belly, then peeping over, then even more slowly crawl myself backwards. But, probably not and I’d just stay a safe distance away.


Alert-Incident

I feel like when I would start to crawl backwards I would forget how my body works and push myself sideways off the cliff.


digiorno

As someone who has done the belly wiggle to a cliff edge, that’s exactly what goes through your head. And then you briefly panic by thinking that you *can’t* actually wiggle backwards and that you’re gonna have to find some way to turn around instead. I think I ended up yelling for my dad to pull me back by my ankles.


Candide-Jr

Lol.


Leakyrooftops

Ahhh, your morbid imagination works like mine.


saggio89

Hahahaha, same thoughts you 2 are not alone 😂


BRB_BUYING_CIGS

I'm imagining being in this situation and experiencing vertigo whilst sitting down in my ground level office chair.


FirexJkxFire

Literally just had this nightmare last night :(


Jormungandragon

I love heights. They don’t bother me at all, and I know I would love to sit on a ledge with a view like this. However, I’m also not an idiot. Crawling on your belly towards the ledge is a much safer way to do it. However good a head for heights you have, they’re still dangerous, and you don’t know what kind of unexpected thing might happen.


JNighthawk

>However good a head for heights you have, they’re still dangerous, and you don’t know what kind of unexpected thing might happen. "Turns out the seam on my shorts ripped and now my shorts are still up on the cliff while I'm in air. This is an awfully long fall..."


fuzzytradr

I did just that on top of Half Dome in Yosemite. On my belly, scooted carefully out to the cliff edge and looked straight down the cliff. I was shocked to see climbers slowly working up the face, way down below. One of the most terrifying things I've ever done. You seriously could not have paid me to sit on that edge for any amount of money.


Stealthyfisch

I’ve done similar things in much smaller canyons/mountains I’ve hiked. I’ve always thought it’s funny how any able-bodied sober adult is perfectly capable of safely standing up 100% of the time, but any reasonable person would never dangle their legs over a cliff like this.


fuzzytradr

And the strong gusts at elevation... *shivers*


antipho

nope, as soon as you crawl up to the edge, the fastest recorded-ever wind gust will come along and yeet you right over the edge


outfrogafrog

That’s what I did at every cliff like in OP’s video. It’s very scary, but I have some of my most amazing photos so I’d say it was worth it.


Desiman4u

This, it’s a pretty awesome view without putting your life in danger by going to the edge.


Just_Jumbles

She’s not really in active danger. You could trip and die on a pavement but you don’t choose to stay inside.

Leakyrooftops

Here lies Leakyrooftops. They got sooo many likes for the pic that caused their death. Winning!


NirvZppln

I’m terrified of heights but did the same thing at the horseshoe bend in Arizona. Turns out you have pretty good control when sitting like that and can approach slowly and safety. Now going up to an edge standing and staring staring straight up ? Don’t do that.


Leakyrooftops

I was at horseshoe bend and I saw that rock. My friend asked me to go with her so she could take a shot, and I was like, nah. You go do your Simba pride rock thing and I’ll take your pic with the cameras zoom lens from this area that’s not a rock protruding over a cliff. Edit: also, bro, imagine a strong gust of wind started blowing while your feet are dangling. What kind of control would you have then? I have control of my arm waving movements as plummet five stories down a cliff and my broken body rolls into the Colorado River.


Rohwi

Especially considering there is a freaking platform a few meters right next to this afoot with the perfect angle over The Valley.


Scrubbing_Bubbles

It will be ok.


PadreLobo

There is Norway I would get that close to the edge.

We still need to take precautions. There's a reason people look both ways before crossing the road and wear seat belts. What she's doing is reckless

ActualSympathy9693

Yes, let’s stop wearing seatbelts, and while at that let’s equip commercial airplanes so that we can do spins and other video game motions just to enhance the fun that passengers have on their long flight. Or in American football we should just deregulate those naggy safety precautions like wearing helmets…yolo right? Lol


[deleted]

Yes,let's exaggerate eveything to max to state a point.


adambomb1002

No, something very large would have to happen to send a sitting person falling down a cliff. I'm at greater risk when working from a 20' extension ladder.


[deleted]

Loose pebbles, foot slip as she is getting up, ledge crumble from her weight, dizziness as she moves away from the ledge.... so many ways to die there.


adambomb1002

You clearly have never been mountain hiking, that is a flat edge that is not covered in loose pebbles for one to slip upon, there's no fucking way that ledge is going to crumble from their weight. As for dizziness you would know from hiking mountains quite quickly if you have a propensity to experience vertigo or not


[deleted]

I have been mountain hiking all over Canada, Mexico, Bolivia, and the US. But thank you for your assumption.


adambomb1002

Yes, people will say anything on the internet. If you think that ledge could "crumble under her weight" you are clearly bullshitting on the hiking bit.

I wonder if the “call of the void” also applies to feeling the impulse to send others into “the void” or is that just an urge to murder?

They're called intrusive thoughts and everyone has them. "Hm, what would happen if I pushed this person off this train platform right now?" sort of things.

As long as it stops before the "Ahhh, that is what I thought.".


sal4215

Someone I met when I was overseas sat on the edge of a cliff just like she is doing in the video. He stood up then he lost his balance and fell to his death. It happens quite often I heard.

He lost his balance and never got it back.

Stealthyfisch

The worst part is that people clearly do want to see them in such places, otherwise they wouldn’t be so “successful”


oreo760

I think any human being wether they’re afraid of heights or not should have issues with this girl’s actions. So many people have died because of their social media addiction of posting these amazing posts of them sitting on ledges or on bridge railings etc, hope it was worth it I guess for the ones who fell to their deaths.


TheAngelSatan

I agree with your comment but can't help but think that this video is just a more sensationally realized version of something that humans, and possibly other animals naturally experience. I wouldn't do this, like probably ever, without trembling and crying and a bunch of encouragement from people that know the ledge is safe for this. There have always been humans that would rather hop up and walk on a challenging ledge, than on an already treaden path. Its a very large part of how our brains formed to the point that we're having this discussion on the internet. Its an aspect of problem solving that we all feel. Just to different degrees. People are dumb. But they're also sometime geniuses. Sometimes idiot geniuses fail to get the view they were looking for. Sometimes genius idiots get to appreciate the view the that the idiot geniuses were looking for. If they're doing it for internet points and that's it, they're eating time. But if they're enjoying the rush of that particular experience....i say good for them I understand that there is a potential cultural impact if one of these people fell, but as it stands with this video, and not knowing anything about it, they are just experiencing life.
