..........to get THAT picture? Climb a tree, hang out of a window? how about jump between two ledges 1000's of feet up after drinking beer and wearing flip flops :huh

He must be mad

while there are definately components of his behavior that are wacky in any circumstance, I don't think jumping 8' between ledges 1,000's of feet high was one of them... there was a ledge not too far below - see this take on the same photos: http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/canyonleap.asp. Still, don't think it was a smart move...

Well okay, he might not have plummeted the 1000+ feet it originally looks like. Still, falling from about 3 stories high (my estimate) might not make much of a difference in rocky terrain if you ask me. The guy still risked cracking his skull wide open, and perfoming this stunt in flipflops (if this is true, can't tell by the photos) simply tells me that he's either had one beer too many or fits the description of numbskull just perfectly....

Earlier, they had watched him relaxing and drinking a six-pack of beer as he waited on the rock column for the sun to go down.

That might have helped in his decision making ability.

in reality it's not as bad that camera angle actually shows.

Well...looks like he was just following the motto of this forum... "Get the shot" :oogle
