Cruise passenger banned for life after standing on ledge for photo

[Robert59]

A Royal Caribbean passenger was banned from the cruise line for life after a fellow traveler caught her standing precariously on a railing on the outside of the ship to take a photo.
Peter Blosic, who was on the Allure of the Seas ship, snapped a picture of the woman as the narrow ledge she's standing on is all that keeps her from plummeting into the water. The woman, who appears to be wearing a blue bathing suit, has her hands raised in the air as she faces outward from the 17-deck ship.

Crazy people!

People continue to push the limits on their sanity in the name of getting that perfect shot. ... and bad things happen..Surprise!

Probably drunk. And when something bad happens the family rushes to sue the company. Never been on a cruise ship but I read that you REALLY have to try to fall overboard.

Going for the Titanic photo op?

Another moron. And if she had fallen, they'd already be suing the cruise line. Dumbass.

I'm guessing there was alcohol involved. And a whole lotta stupidity.

It's crazy what people will do for Instagram, fb snapchat. Over 250 people died for that "perfect pic" between 2011-2017. No telling what the numbers are now. This article details some of them. Cause of Death: Selfie

And then there are the idiots that have death wishes. Like the one that climbed over a barrier and went to the edge of a geyser in Yellowstone and fell into the scalding liquid and became a blob. Or the woman who climbed over a wall so she could taunt a lion at a zoo and was lucky he took his time considering his options. Or some woman that went to the edge of a cliff wearing thongs (the shoes) and tripped and fell to her death. Are humans going backward in intelligence?

Actual pic;

Going for the Titanic photo op?

Or maybe a What About Bob moment;

I'm glad she didn't fall into the ocean.
A Shark could have eaten her - & all that alcohol in her blood could have made the Shark sick.

I still don’t get it.

Humans doing crazy, outrageous things that most people wouldn’t consider doing and then attempting to get the best picture ever of them doing it?

Some people!

I guess this wasn’t meant to be funny but it is to me.

 

[WhatInThe]

Drunk or not the urge to do it was there. Drugs and alcohol lower impulse control. She also probably is attention seeking.
Dumb Butt

Been on a cruise and you do have to try to fall over board!

What about the people who have died while taking a selfie near a cliff? The Darwin awards are made for people like that.
