This crazy SOB above was drinking beers and taking shots of the Arizona sunset when he decided to jump over to the other ledge for a better shot. These photos were captured by Dutch photographer Hans van de Vorst who happend to be at the Grand Canyon on vacation. According to Hans the guy almost didn’t make it.

He didn’t grab the rock properly the first time and slipped back about 50cm before clinging onto it.

I guess I understand wanting to get a good shot but jumping over the Grand Canyon is fucking ludicrous.
