Crazy Things Tourist Do

Why is it when some people go on holidays they seem to leave their common sense at home and risk there lives. Do they think that they are bullet proof and nothing will happen to them? There seems to be no shortage of holiday horror TV shows to prove otherwise. Why do people think I got away with it once I'll be able to do it again and again.

Here are 4 photos of tourist risking their lives for I guess that special photographic shot the "Look at Me Ma No Hands...". Now in reallity I don't care to much what happens to these people as they are old enough to make there own desicions and if their choices prove to be disasterious then thats their problem. My concern is more for the families and friends of these people who will have to live with the sadness of loosing a love one or look after them for the rest of their lives because of disabilities from their injuries. Spare a thought also for the  Volunteer resucue workers who would have to risk their lives to rescue or retrieve their bodies and the person who will have to tell their families.

The first two photos are at Cathedral Rocks near Kiama. Now the guys are trying to take an adventurious look at me photo. The sea was quite rough that day and all it would take is for one rather large wave to come in and either one or both would be washed off the rocks. They do look like they are just hanging on and the biggest istake is one has his back to the ocean.

The third and fourth photos are at Carrington Falls in the Kangaroo Valley. These girls are taking a dip in a small rock pool at the edge of the spill way at the top of the water fall. You can see one girl peering over the edge into the abyss while the other one is taking the photo. Now the water fall is nearly 90 metres to the bottom with a shear drop of 50 metres. One slip and well...
