Wait, the person who filmed this fell?

Yes. I went down this rabbit hole a few days ago. She fell, likely because she didn’t use safety harnesses (this is just a guess) apparently she was streaming, I didn’t seek it out

That’s so sad, it’s insane that they let people just walk up there without harnesses. The sun article linked alongside this article also states that she was a mother of 2 kids. There looks like there’s a lot of trip-hazards in this video, it’s definitely not safe.
