Darwin selfie Fail

Lets take a family trip and see a volcano!! Volcanos are cool!

It will be cheap as we won't buy tickets to get in and we will take this path over here that is blocked off to avoid the crowd and possibly getting caught!

We will take selfies at the top to record our memories of sneaking in. I will get real close to the edge over here. It will be fantastic! Watch me!!

Opppps.....dang it! Dropped my phone....

Wooooaahhhhhaaaaaahhhhhh....

Well now...ummmm...honey??? Can you call the rescue people, maybe a helicopter?

Dang, another classic Darwin Fail as said selfie self doom prevails to try again another day. Yet to be determined if the phone was recovered...

Risking your life over a mobile phone... I wouldn't be surprised if we hear from this person again at some point!

Sewers and grates are one thing -people think they're safe since they aren't obviously dangerous. But a flipping volcano!?!
