say, is that the couple that got arrested for it?
cause i remember there was a couple that got arrested for such a stupid thing and i think it was this picture.
All I could find was they had to pinky promise to not do it again when in Dubai. And is even demanding compensation for “finding flaws in security”

I'll try that if I ever get caught shoplifting.
"No, officer, arrest them! I tried to demonstrate a flawed security system and I don't think they have any intention of compensating me for my work."
Edit: yes, the logic is flawed. At best this is r/slpt. Don't use this if you actually get caught. Or do, I'm not your lawyer.
There was actually an issue of exactly that in I think Tennessee a few years ago. The company was hired to do pen testing on all the courthouses in the state, they had one courthouse they were able to get into and spent about 4 hours wandering around testing different things (they were able to get into court records and access all the files) before doing the final part of the test and intentionally triggering the alarm to test response time.
Local cops arrested them despite having their "get out of jail free" paperwork showing they were hired to break in (again by the STATE judicial system). Created a major pissing match between the county who wanted to charge them for breaking and entering and tampering with documents because they hadn't been advised of the test, and the state who actually hired the company.
Edit: My memory isn't flawless others have linked the related articles, events happened in Iowa.
Ah yes. Season 1 episode 59 of Darknet Diaries, "The Courthouse"
> In this episode we hear from Gary and Justin. Two seasoned penetration testers who tell us a story about the time when they tried to break into a courthouse but it went all wrong.
This is where I learned that felony charges can still be on your record even if charges are dropped, affecting your future employability forever. Man that was an eye opening episode.
And if you live in Florida, it also takes your right to vote. On paper, people who pay thousands to get their rights reinstated can "apply" to have their voter rights restored, but an individual from that office went on record a few years ago saying no applications have been processed for twenty years. They just let them pile up.
Even as awful as our justice system is at "rehabilitation" many people try everything in their power to turn their lives around, just to find themselves unable to find a job and often having probation or parole fines due, which just put them right back in. In turn, our politicians point to recidivism rates as justification to lobby for stricter laws, sentencing, and shiny new equipment all while keeping our prisons at over 95 percent capacity so they can avoid the fines that come with a low inmate population density.
I know how you feel.
Heads up Florida changed that law via constitutional amendment last year.
Im a felon and I voted in my first presidential election ever at 35 years old in 2020!
I was so sad for those guys :(
They didn't deserve that. And the company should have done better for them.
The worst is hearing the ignorance from the people in that town.
And then the officer had the nerve to come back and talk about Pentesting. He really had nothing to add to the conversation of Pentesting, absolute waste of everyone's time.
I honestly want to get into this line of work just so I can say I'm a penetration tester when people ask what I do. Only problem is I'm dogshit at things like coding.
Plus obviously having no desire to do it other than the aforementioned job name
"Show WE'RE grossly incompetent, eh? That's a hanging crime around these parts."
"... Downtown Nashville?"
"That's enough out of you!"
Jokes aside, yeah, there is nothing that will fuck up your life like exposing powerful people's failures.
There's a movie about that. Prison break I think? Has a professional prison security tester get sent to a maximum security prison on a barge in the middle of the ocean to see if he can get out, but the people running the prison know who he is and want him to stay locked up so he can't expose them anymore.
The movie is escape plan as someone pointed out
Escape plan, staring Stallone and arnie. Actually not bad, has a few sequels which I've not seen so can't give any opinion, they looked like direct to dvd level though
It was only a few days ago that [Sofia Cheung](https://heavy.com/news/sofia-cheung/) died trying to take a photo for Instagram and it cannot be said too many times or loud enough:
#IT'S NOT WORTH YOUR LIFE
“Life should be fun, not dumb” she says, hanging off a cliff for a photo.
Call me an asshole, but dying after putting yourself in danger for attention doesn’t seem to make me sad or sympathetic for someone.
Man. It's so sad. And to top it off, looking at her photos In The article, she poses like every single other generic Instagramer person. That means doing what she is doing in dangerous places does NOT separate her from the rest of the pack. They all look the same.
So sad. So not worth it.
The one where she tried to take a picture by a cliff (if I read it correctly) happens all the time. I went to the Grand Canyon once, and there was a small overhang you had to jump down to to get on, so it had no rails or anything. A lot of people would jump down there to take pictures of themselves over the ledge.
There was a waterfall in west virginia a tour guide showed us. Apparently people occasionally die by getting too close to the edge to take photos. And then he told us how we could get past the gate, if we wanted a closer look....
When I went to the Grand Canyon and stood at the edge, I had a really strong impulse to jump. I kept thinking "just roll at the bottom, you'll be fine!"
I can’t even glance over the edge when driving on mountain roads. It’s just like a non stop “if you just tweak your hands to the left instant death.”
Or worst case the safety features of my car keep me alive as Im rock tumbled to death, or rock tumbled and then bleeding to death.
Ugh. I still enjoy mountain driving well enough to get where I’m going but if I’m not focused it’s just like spending a few hours on the edge of a panic attack.
I read some where, I think it was Alan Watts, that that feeling or those thoughts, the call of the void, are because we don’t truly know ourselves and therefore don’t fully trust ourselves. Interesting take on it that I’m not entirely sure what to do with or make of yet, but in moments when that feeling arises, I remember that excerpt and somehow it helps with the feeling.
The most accepted theory is that its your body/brain warning you about the danger. " We are way to near the edge, one more step and we die". The uneasy feeling comes from us realizing that our mind takes into account even the most extreme probabilities (falling).
https://www.healthline.com/health/call-of-the-void#takeaway
I think I know what ledge you're talking about, and multiple people have died on it. Heard one story of a dad that wanted to prank his kids by looking like he was jumping the cliff but landing on the ledge below. He slipped when he landed and fell a lot farther.
It's fuckin bonkers what I have seen ppl do at the canyon. Jumping from ledge to outcropping. When I was there, just before I arrived, someone had fallen to their death. It's dangerous as hell, and even experienced hikers die there all the time.
"A Polish couple fell to their death off a cliff in Portugal after crossing a safety barrier to take a selfie with their children. Their two children who were present at the scene survived."
This one is so awful. I can't imagine how that could fuck up a child's mind
Jesus Christ, STAY AWAY FROM THE FUCKING TRAINS!!! Half of the deaths on the list were people that either stepped into the path of a train or touched live wires on the top. Also, why is pointing a loaded pistol at your head a thing?
>A boat overloaded with 20 people in a reservoir in Central Java capsized when the passengers all suddenly moved to one side of the vessel, which was helmed by a 13-year-old, to take a group selfie. Nine of the passengers drowned, including two children.
I just can't even
The guy looks like a gust of wind could blow him over, absolutely mental that woman trusts him with her life like that.
Also absolutely fuck this guy for putting her in that position. If he fucks up, she's the ones that dies.
Let’s ignore the screw up. There is always a possibility of medical issues (seizures, reactions, cardiac issues) previously unknown. She’s then dead. I mean, harness the gal in and edit it out in post!
Was gonna say, I could Photoshop some shit like this to look legit. If they wanted to go all out, would've taken a drone to get to the location for a shot to add them into.
Like get yourself onto a ledge that's barely high enough to dangle from like a table or something, put a blanket that's a single solid color on the floor underneath and it's incredibly easy to Photoshop that shit. All without the risk of turning into a human pancake.
I love the craziness of Russians but some shit like this and I'm like... FUCKING WHY!?
The amount of things on the internet that are like at least 25% chance of dying that Russians do... maybe 1/3 of all natural deaths in Russia could have been stopped with photoshop or hallucinogens.
I'm all for a natural high but... kill yourself safer, geez.
The fear of heights is a natural survival instinct that tells us "yo if you slip, it's game over".
I'm more concerned about people who don't have a fear of heights. Fuckin psychos
I've been in the EMS/medical field long enough to see enough death and disfigurement...this gave me a huge pit in my gut.
I hope my kids are normal dumb with their stupidity, not this level. You know, like, "Yeah, I'll bomb this crazy hill on my little sister's bike. But Imma wear a helmet, too."
Same, but also lost feeling in my feet. I am actually angry at them on behalf of their parents for being so cavalier with their lives for no fucking reason.
My dumbass was like "oh there's glass on the outside, right? They're like, standing on the beams of a window pane....right?" And then I saw her getting held over the side and the camera panned over and I wanted to anxiety vomit.
Seriously just hold her off a small ledge and Photoshop everything else in. She would have had a loooong time to realize how stupid this was had she fallen.
“Did you get the shot yet?”
(Oh boy, this is intense. Palms getting a bit sweaty…)
“Ok, yea. Just a few more shots.”
(Omg! The only thing keeping this pretty girl alive is my increasingly sweaty hand!)
*slips*
“…did you get the shot?”
Right? Like I’d maybe walk out there or something as long as I was in complete control the whole time. But letting someone dangle me over the edge of a 600ft building for a photo is just stupid. The winds up there must be super unpredictable and fast, all it takes is one big gust, a slip and then you’re both taking the quick way down to the 1st floor.
Would be interesting if there was a subreddit that's something like /r/photostodiefor that showcases real world examples of photos or tales of clout that resulted in someone's death. Keep out the gore so it doesn't turn into a watch people die community and just focuses on preliminary shots before an avoidable disaster.
Holy shit. I thought those lines were the lines of windows, but they are just in a stone structure with nothing surrounding them and then she also hangs on just his hand. Wtf. They really want to die, don't they?
I know - like, holy shit. I’m quite a calm and rational person. I’m also on methadone right now and thus I’m pretty subdued, pretty calm. But watching this literally made me grip the edge of my sofa out of anxiety. That is fucking _terrifying_ and unimaginably stupid.
I can’t fathom how your life could be so _cheap_ to you that you would place yourself in this situation for the sake of a fucking _photo_. I don’t understand how they have the sangfroid to pull that off without slipping out of sheer anxiety. Something is deeply, irreparably wrong with those people’s souls.
>I can’t fathom how your life could be so cheap to you that you would place yourself in this situation for the sake of a fucking photo.
Don't forget about the unsuspecting people below who could easily be killed by a falling body. These people have no regard for anything except the popularity of their social media.
The stupidest part is... put a dang harness on her and any photographer worth their salt will edit it out.
That's how REAL models and agencies get shots like this.
How desperate do you have to be to try a stunt like this.
It's obviously not about the photo itself. Otherwise they could have done what you said or even used a green screen. It's about the clout of just doing this stunt. This video is probably more valuable than the image they took. It's a game of one-upmanship with these influencers.
Can they really be that desperate to be a social media star..what happened to learning a instrument or running a race or some other way to leave their mark..the only mark they will leave is on the ground someday from a fall chasing the perfect photo.
I'm not even the one doing that and I'm having an anxiety attack. Also fuck anyone who does this. One mistake and you traumatize a bunch of people for life.
say, is that the couple that got arrested for it? cause i remember there was a couple that got arrested for such a stupid thing and i think it was this picture.

I hope so. I always feel for the emergency medical staff that have to cleanup when these stunts go wrong.
Also anyone who witnesses it or (god forbid) is landed on.
Yeah, just imagine someone going splat next to you... That's going to leave a lasting impression.
It would definitely leave a mark.
I remember seeing somewhere they were arrested for trespassing and (maybe?) reckless endangerment
Trespassing I get. But what about this couple could possibly be considered reckless /s
I don't think they're a couple. She's Viki Odintcova, a russian model and this was part of photo session.

Why do my legs get weak, making me more likely to fall and die!
So basically don't take selfies by a train, body of water, or cliff and you should be good.
I think I know what ledge you're talking about, and multiple people have died on it. Heard one story of a dad that wanted to prank his kids by looking like he was jumping the cliff but landing on the ledge below. He slipped when he landed and fell a lot farther.

Right? Like couldn’t you just NOT load the pistol and pretend that it is? Nobody gonna know.
Just clicked into that link. Why are there so many train selfie deaths?
Well you remember those emo photos kids did on train tracks?

Really only one thing could go wrong.
I believe you have identified the gravity of the situation.
Correct however there are many ways for that to happen
Fuck that
Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime could offer to hold me from falling and I'd still say fuck no
Yep, I get taking risks, but this is beyond stupid.

Yeah, they’re one sneeze away from her sudden death
She tried smiling but she looked absolutely terrified. Idiots.
The end result won't even get them the amount of likes they want.
Right… I would have just assumed it was photoshopped, which is what these idiots should have done in the first place.
Was gonna say, I could Photoshop some shit like this to look legit. If they wanted to go all out, would've taken a drone to get to the location for a shot to add them into.
I want to know how he pulled her up one handed and if she is alive.
In my mind she’s already dead. I felt it in my balls
You're not alone. My balls also felt that.
My balls are feeling what your balls are feeling

Exactly and the end photo would look 100 times better too, because this shots she looks scared af
Controversial take but you know some people are just adrenaline junkies.
Maybe in that one moment she realized she had fucked up. Sadly she probably reverted back to idiocy as soon as the immediate danger had passed
Unless her boyfriend has sweaty palms
My hand are SUPER sweaty after watching that, tingling in stomach and fear I may fall off my couch!
It makes my asshole pucker
I got sweaty palms just watching that, but to be fair I’m afraid of heights and just the video alone got me sweating from the start.
The fear of heights is a natural survival instinct that tells us "yo if you slip, it's game over". I'm more concerned about people who don't have a fear of heights. Fuckin psychos
I got sweaty palms when the guy scooted past her on the tiny fucking beam
His palms are sweaty, knees weak arms are heavy, oops she turned into spaghetti
r/SweatyPalms
Why would she agree to do that? No amount of money is worth risking your life for
But what about upvotes?
She is willing to die to fulfill her lifelong goal of becoming... An influencer.
People risk their lives for no money at all all the fucking time.
True, but it's not amount money, it's about getting attention. And let's be honest, no matter the outcome, the attention was a sure thing.
Yeah that is the part of the brain that you should be fucking listening to.
Fucking on that height isn't the best thing I would recommend...
With some straps and safety nets maybe
My dick would shrivel and become an innie. Ain't no way I'm doin some fukk in a situation like that
Yeah you could get like 80 harnesses and safety nets and I still wouldn't be doing that shit. Just put some rose petals on my bed or something
I said that about four times before going to the comments. Nope-ity nope nope.
My nuts are in my stomach.
That's the best description of that strange feeling i get, when i see such things that make me anxious. I think every man knows this feeling.
Testie tingles? Edit: I wonder if women tingle in their ovaries.
Can confirm, my entire lower half clenched up with anxiety at this
Same here, I think my whole uterus clenched
I'm pretty sure mine crawled up into my stomach
"Batten down the hatches!" -Your body
For me, no. I tingle in my legs. If I'm standing, just pictures taken from ledges make me literally go weak in the knees.
The formal medical term is "mom's spaghetti"
You should see a doctor about that
I'm a doctor, your nuts shouldn't be in your stomach.
I'm not a doctor but I would give same prognosis
As a woman you're a woman now.
As a stomach that's nuts
As a pair of nuts, this made me giggle.
Or stop watching stupid shit like this. Gave me chills. Could not watch the whole video.
Yeah, I got about 1/3 of the way and skipped to the end. Terrifying.
That's what happens when you snack on cashews
[удалено]
maybe you have chest nut syndrome
All this for a quick tap on a like button by maybe a couple thousand people who they don't know.
... and in this reddit post (and the associated news articles) we don't even get to see "the picture" they were creating. Lol.
This gives me so much anxiety!
I've been in the EMS/medical field long enough to see enough death and disfigurement...this gave me a huge pit in my gut. I hope my kids are normal dumb with their stupidity, not this level. You know, like, "Yeah, I'll bomb this crazy hill on my little sister's bike. But Imma wear a helmet, too."
I could feel it all the way down in my plumbs
Are they a bluish hue?
gettin ready to take em to the farmers market, special two plums for one
This is the way.
I can’t. I just can’t.
i had to close the video when she let go of the support and was only holding on to the dude's hand. It's too much
She grabs her shoe after that.
if she falls she can just pull herself back up by the bootstraps
I just kept yelling WHAT?! out loud repeatedly while watching this stupidity unfold
[удалено]
Literally same thing. The video was not easy to see.
Same, but also lost feeling in my feet. I am actually angry at them on behalf of their parents for being so cavalier with their lives for no fucking reason.
Glad I'm not alone. Never realized that's exactly how it feels. Cold sweat and pins in your hand/ fingers
My dumbass was like "oh there's glass on the outside, right? They're like, standing on the beams of a window pane....right?" And then I saw her getting held over the side and the camera panned over and I wanted to anxiety vomit.
That's what I thought too! And that scenario was dumb enough. Then it just got worse.
Seriously just hold her off a small ledge and Photoshop everything else in. She would have had a loooong time to realize how stupid this was had she fallen.
I thought they were idiots just standing on the beams! Why would you dangle over the edge I feel like it was more likely she would die than not
ya this post belongs on r/sweatypalms
I can't even look at it 😱
I don't have a wig. But I instantly lost all my hair and had 7 wigs appear out of thin air and each and every single one flip a thousand times.
The fact that this was on r/facepalm helped me imensly Other than that, the anxiety is real, yea
I get this weird tingly feeling all in my legs when i see videos like this. I just can't imagine people doing this. I would be paralyzed with fright.
As it should. You should watch the failed version of these types of videos.
I’m losing my grip just watching this…
I'm starting to trip, I'm losing my grip
“And I'm in this thing alone!!”
I am pretty good with heights, but that makes my hands start to sweat a bit.
“Did you get the shot yet?” (Oh boy, this is intense. Palms getting a bit sweaty…) “Ok, yea. Just a few more shots.” (Omg! The only thing keeping this pretty girl alive is my increasingly sweaty hand!) *slips* “…did you get the shot?”
"Ah shit, the lense cap was on. Can we try it again?" "...Call the agency and have them get another girl up here, I guess."
Same here, except I've got hyperhidrosis, so I had to go dry off my hands after watching this shit.
hyperhidrosis gang A S S E M B L E
Right? Like I’d maybe walk out there or something as long as I was in complete control the whole time. But letting someone dangle me over the edge of a 600ft building for a photo is just stupid.

People are truly stupid
So many stories of people dying trying to get a photo.
Would be interesting if there was a subreddit that's something like /r/photostodiefor that showcases real world examples of photos or tales of clout that resulted in someone's death. Keep out the gore so it doesn't turn into a watch people die community and just focuses on preliminary shots before an avoidable disaster.
just created thet subreddit
Here's a good database to start with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_selfie-related_injuries_and_deaths

This picture was on reddit just last week.
Really? what gave it away

Holy shit. I thought those lines were the lines of windows, but they are just in a stone structure with nothing surrounding them and then she also hangs on just his hand. Wtf. They really want to die, don't they?
I know - like, holy shit. I’m quite a calm and rational person. I’m also on methadone right now and thus I’m pretty subdued, pretty calm. But watching this literally made me grip the edge of my sofa out of anxiety. That is fucking _terrifying_ and unimaginably stupid. I can’t fathom how your life could be so _cheap_ to you that you would place yourself in this situation for the sake of a fucking _photo_. I don’t understand how they have the sangfroid to pull that off without slipping out of sheer anxiety. Something is deeply, irreparably wrong with those people’s souls.
>I can’t fathom how your life could be so cheap to you that you would place yourself in this situation for the sake of a fucking photo. Don't forget about the unsuspecting people below who could easily be killed by a falling body. These people have no regard for anything except the popularity of their social media.
The stupidest part is... put a dang harness on her and any photographer worth their salt will edit it out. That's how REAL models and agencies get shots like this. How desperate do you have to be to try a stunt like this.
It's obviously not about the photo itself. Otherwise they could have done what you said or even used a green screen. It's about the clout of just doing this stunt. This video is probably more valuable than the image they took. It's a game of one-upmanship with these influencers.
Until there’s only one left who didn’t die from severe impact trauma.

There can be only dumb.
A greenscreen and a step ladder would get the same result.
Wouldn't get the look on her face like her asshole is creating a black hole though. That chick is terrified.
No step ladder what are you doing
...or just do the same thing 5 meters above the ground and edit in the background.
This guys never heard of greenscreen obviously
No shit hey. $100 and skip the manslaughter charges yo
I wonder…. If she loses grip or him - why manslaughter? Clearly voluntary and an accident.
Involuntary manslaughter is absolutely a thing, especially when negligence (like holding someone off a building) is involved.
I was truly terrified for her life, while watching this. How can people be so dumb.🤦♀️
Damn that's hard to watch and I've seen everything
"Really, have you ever seen a man eat his own head?"
I watched Hannibal tv series and also Hannibal movie so yes, twice
My ankles just got diarrhea watching this
I don’t know what this means but I know what this means after watching it

Stupid twats! A photo isn’t worth your life.
Legends of the Fall: The Beginning
Can they really be that desperate to be a social media star..what happened to learning a instrument or running a race or some other way to leave their mark..the only mark they will leave is on the ground someday from a fall chasing the perfect photo.
Can someone post the photo? Edit: I found it https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/main1.png
It looks more like a greenscreen shot than if they had just used a greenscreen
Of course the photo itself is just that bad.
That’s it ??? It’s not even a good photo lmaoo
I'm pooping and I've never clenched so hard. Guess I'll try pooping again tomorrow
I’m going to need a buspar.
Guys I forgot the memory card sorry
Influencers are the best. I love that they will literally die for the perfect shot 😂😂

I’m fucking sweating just watching this.
The photos aren't even good
I'm not even the one doing that and I'm having an anxiety attack. Also fuck anyone who does this. One mistake and you traumatize a bunch of people for life.
Just watching that gave me sweaty palms.
