Het Yosemite National Park in het oosten van de Amerikaanse staat Californië, lokt jaarlijks een massa avonturiers die er van de weelderige en onontgonnen natuurpracht komen genieten.

Uitkijkpunt Taft Point is er één van de populairste plekken. Deze locatie is inmiddels wereldberoemd omdat verliefde koppeltjes er vaak een spectaculaire foto willen scoren. Ook is het dé plek bij uitstek voor een gedurfd huwelijksaanzoek. Enige voorzichtigheid is echter steeds op zijn plaats aangezien je er tot helemaal aan de rand van een gigantische kloof van 900 meter diep kan lopen.

Dinsdagavond vond er echter een drama plaats op het bekende Taft Point. Een Indisch koppel reisbloggers stortte er te pletter toen het een selfie wou nemen. De Indische Vishnu Viswanath (29) en Meenakshi Moorthy (30) verloren hun evenwicht en vielen maar liefst 250 meter naar beneden. Een toerist zag het gebeuren en alarmeerde een ranger van het nationaal park. Hulpverleners vonden de levenloze lichamen van het koppel in Yosemite Valley.

CHASING SUNSETS or CHASING LIKES ??? 😛 ... Sooo today on #socialmediabadasstribe we are talking about limits of #doitforthegram.😶Yeah sure it can be limitless but guys, we reaaaallly need to have boundaries(this is handy as life lessons too but we will revisit that later😉) A lot of us including yours truly is a fan of daredevilry attempts of standing at the edge of cliffs ⛰and skyscrapers🌆, but did you know that wind gusts can be FATAL??? ☠️ Is our life just worth one photo? ... When we squirm at another selfie attempt gone south 😱 from a skyscraper, let’s remember to save that in our core memory 🧠 and not the memory dump 🛢(I am still on the Inside Out 🎬 train y'all 😬) Same applies when we get our knickers in a twist and hog a spot till we get the perfect shot🙄 I know I know, I am guilty as charged for all of this 🤦‍♀️ and if I didn’t have Mr. Two Goody Shoes, Vishnu 🤭 with me, I am not even sure if I would have written this post. ... Let us all try to be responsible digital citizens and use our “numbers” to be transparent and honest, shall we?🤗 None of us is perfect and the more we accept it and share our flaws as much as our wins, we are one step closer to creating a sane social media without the scary brouhahas.💕✨ ... Still there?👀 Woohoo, a backflip is in order, or wait maybe a pizza? 🍕 What about a unicorn ice-cream 🦄 🍦 with some Disney-approved cotton candy 🍭🍬 and pixie dust infused sprinkles 🧚‍♀️ if…..IF you could tell me the one time you were effin’ proud of being candid and real AF in social media? 😎 ...
