This made me stop breathing for a second. I would NEVER even be there,
let along jump from one rock to another..

One For The Darwin Awards
This is a case of photographer photographs photographer.
The following photographs were taken by photographer Hans van de Vorst
at the Grand Canyon, Arizona.
The descriptions are his own.
The identity of the photographer IN the photos is unknown.

I was simply stunned seeing this guy standing on this solitary rock IN
the Grand Canyon.
The canyon's depth is 900 meters here. The rock on the right is next to
the canyon and safe.
Watching this guy in his thong sandals, with a camera and a tripod I
asked myself 3 questions:

1. How did he climb that rock?
2. Why not taking that sunset picture on that rock to the right, which
is perfectly safe?
3. How will he get back?

This is the point of no return.

After the sun set behind the canyon's horizon he packed his things
(having only one hand available)
and prepared himself for the jump. This took about 2 minutes.
At that point he had the full attention of the crowd.

After that, he jumped on his thong sandals...
The canyon's depth is 900 meters here.

Now you can see that the adjacent rock is higher so he tried to land
lower, which is quite steep
and tried to use his one hand to grab the rock.

We've come to the end of this little story. Look carefully at the
photographer.
He has a camera, a tripod and also a plastic bag, all on his shoulder or
in his left hand.
Only his right hand is available to grab the rock and the weight of his
stuff is a problem.

He lands low on this flip flops both his right hand and right foot slips
away...
At that moment I take this shot.

He pushes his body against the rock.
He waits for a few seconds, throws his stuff on the rock, climbs and
walks away.
