Unreal video of Vaughn Gittin driving to edge of world in the Bronco

[Erock]

I’d definitely do it... but sure as hell the rock would break and I didn’t option the parachute.

well, that's nowhere on my bucket list, so no.

This thread is hilarious. Thousands of people have driven out on that outcropping over the years. The ledge is at least 6 feet thick and 10 feet wide. Your 2 ton vehicle doesn't even register as any extra weight compared to the size and breadth of that thing.

The worst part of driving onto this overlook is trusting your spotter enough to let them guide you to the edge. Then you hop out, with several feet on either side to do so, and pose for your picture.

Shift it into D and let off brake...

Makes me not miss Ken Block.

Yup, that is cool. So who wants to take bets on when we hear the first news story about a Bronco owner.....

Reminds me of the people who fall off cliffs and die taking selfies.

Legit made my palms sweat. DO NOT LIKE. But wow.

This is where the parental advice "just because everyone is doing it doesn't make it right" comes into focus...

Yogi Berra once said: "If at first you don't succeed, then don't take up selfie cliff parking."

I find it rather comforting that I may not the only one that "might" crawl on their hands and knees to maybe, MAYBE, 30' from the ledge. To only end up falling to my belly, clawing at the dirt, and screaming hysterically.

There is HOPE for us - we WILL have friends when rescued and placed in a padded room for our safety. BYOD - bring your own Depends. Whose bringing the deck of cards?

Yeah....the odds of that outcropping giving way were pretty long.

On the other hand, aside from personal tragedy, it would have defined the Bronco brand in perpetuity. They sure as hell wouldn't have proceeded with Job #1 anytime soon.

So where is your picture? Such a detailed post and no picture?

Top of the world is on my list. Black bear pass is another.

NO THANKS!

By way of comparison...

New Hampshire's Old Man of the Mountain was such a huge symbol of the indestructible, "LIVE FREE OR DIE" GRANITE STATE. it was even on every NH license plate. And then on May 3, 2003, it just decided to crumble.
