Many appeared to called out the prankster's 'stupidity', with one pointing out plainly: "There are rails for a reason."
Another said: "It really is amazing how many stupid people come die in Arizona.
"Whether it's falling in the grand canyone or deciding a nice July hike in 115° heat with a single water bottle is a good idea."
A third added: "Immediate 10,000 dollar fine for going over that fence. That’ll make dumbasses think twice,' another suggested.
"Wow. People are really f**king dumb," another commented.
Another dangerous tourist hotspot in the US is the Grand Canyon, where around 11 people fall to deaths every year.
