Rock Arch Swing Fail

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A recent popular stunt in Moab, Utah is to swing by a rope from a sandstone arch. A 22 year old Utah man misjudged the length of the rope and instead of swinging under the arch he swung into the ground. "Rescuers say he was dead at the scene."
