I couldn't help pausing by this line:
"was hiking beyond a safety fence"

So many people fall to their death every year because they don't take safety rules into consideration.
It's such a pity. This poor guy was just 25 years old, a whole life ahead of him, but now cut short.

We've all been young and I'm sure that we've all done dangerous things, but still..
The article doesn't say why he went beyond the safety fence, but we know from other news articles that many people will literally risk their lives to take the perfect selfie. I'm not saying this is the case here, but it has happened before.

Think of K2 or mount everest. So many people have died there.
I think K2 is one out of every 4. Just hard to imagine that people want to climb those and yet I wanted to when I was young.
Now I'm a bit too old though.
