Topic: These could kill somebody! (Read 1914 times)

Again, the reason shown in the video was them joking, and only after being called out did they expand upon that joke to justify their actions. The BSA even saw through their ruse. And now Glenn will probably have his lawsuit thrown out pertaining to some accident that took away his ability to enjoy life to its fullest.

This video comes to mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioVk9MeZNGg especially part two http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeEqxWTz8Ls

"It could've fell on someone" is just an excuse for stupid people to have done something stupid; they had no intention or harming or helping anyone, they just wanted to push the rock over and needed a reason after the fact to make them appear as though they were doing good.

you are right we always need old days and its never happen just can think about this 

Already happened.

This is a frightened city. Over these stretches of land, over these streets hangs a pall of fear. Fear of a new kind of violence which is terrorizing the city. Yes, gangs of old rocks attacking defenseless fit young men and women....

There we go! Lol.

Coral Snake?

The rock formations look beautiful. How could something so beautiful be so dangerous?

This is hilarious.

Glenn Taylor filmed pushing 2,000-pound rock one month after filing lawsuit saying he was disabled

Well, those are beautiful!

Goblin Valley is now Segway Park thanks to their corporate sponsorship.

Thanks to your post, we can safely assume that these guys were filming their getting-their-rocks-off along with the organism, and if anything arrives from their act, they won't be aborting any children.

BSA now equals _______________ (?).

thanks for your this generosity I appreciate this and its saved thousands peoples life 

I would put a gyroscope inside to make sure it won't fall.

agree its natural beauty we need to explore these places not destroying just love them don't afraid from them its millions years old not new ones 

They can open doors now!!!!11!1

Only if they fell off, but they seems to be there since million years ago. Must be super duper unlucky if it ever happens

The rocks don't look very dangerous. If you stay away from them, you should be OK. They look very nice, so I would not want to damage them.

You never know with these rocks. They quietly and sneakily sneak behind you then drop on your head when you don't expect it. Stop rocks now, before they kill all our children.

I don't think these could kill someone its here for hundred or years and still nothing happen then how these things can do if you have some problem then do some safety measures just this is

very disappointed, was expecting an epileptic seizure and all I got was some rocks

minus 100 trust

At that point, it still wasn't about saving face--just expanding upon the humorous act. The saving face aspect only came into play when they stated getting feedback from their YouTube video, of which has nothing stated in the description as to why they did what they did--to save the children.

Soon, we'll start seeing the memes about these Hoodoo Houdinis, starting with "The Misadventures of Horrible Hall and Goliath Glenn".

To paraphrase Walker Brennen: "You see that mountain over there? Yeah? Well, one of these days we're gonna move that mountain to save some kid from dying."

ahhh i can see it now the bottom picture some half backed fat person walks to the middle of the arch and starts jumping up and down then suddenly it gives way the arch and the man fall down and after the dust settles the mans there on his ass in a rock pile saying i told you it was dangerous  

theres lots of dangerous things in life if your worried the best way would be to bubble wrap your children and keep them in the basement until there 16

think of it this way did you do anything stupid as a child?

Damn scouts.

Original videao: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZQlPrnsfoc&feature=youtu.be

Just when you thought this story couldn't get worse, over and beyond the death threats, these adults are Boy Scout leaders and are now lying about their actions.

In the video, it clearly shows that their only intent was to move the hoodoo where it's been resting for eons. Upon completing the task, cheering and high fives were given and the narrator, Hall, states that they have "...now modified Goblin Valley. A new Goblin Valley exist." Glen, the "Hoodoo Houdini", only said as a humorous aside, "Some little kid..." whereupon Hall expands the humor with, "Some little kid was about to walk down here and die..."

Now, they're taking those aside humorous remarks and using it in their defense for their actions. If at the onset of the video they stated that what they are about to do is for safety concerns, then they may have a case, albeit doubtful.

Even though BSA has in their handbook "leave no trace", Hall offers up that there's nothing in the handbook that describes what to do when encountering such a situation, hence taking the matter in their own hands, completely ignoring the "leave no trace" rule. It seems that two smart(?) guys couldn't go to the park rangers and express their concerns, where if they were warranted, the rangers would have fixed the situation somehow. That rock wasn't about to come down within the next two hours.

Bottom line, they did it for the laughs... until it no longer became a laughing matter.

I agree.

Everybody is bold at defending its own private property but noone is defending public domain... This is everyone's property, you can't touch it if I do not agree.

You can be killed by anything if you are an idiot

Reminds me of rock formations in those old Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons.

Or close off access to humans...

I think charging him with a felony is excessive.  Especially when everyone is climbing on the structures causing little bits of erosion (or vandalism).

Better tear that all down then before somebody gets hurt.

I've been there several times, and a few times, there has been hundreds of kids all over the area crawling on the rocks (which is allowed), so the man has a valid point if one of those rocks was unstable, it could fall on a kid..or adult.

Every time I go there, it is a lot of fun, and I'm always amazed everyone makes it back without any injuries.

But, thanks to one man, they will now all come down: http://www.wkbn.com/entertainment/must-see-video/man-topples-200-million-year-old-boulder-nd13
