Every time I see this pic posted, Brazilians familiar with the area comment that this is a popular photo spot and there is a ledge just below him out of frame. So it's not quite as dangerous as it appears.

[–]mista0sparkle 150 points151 points ago

that still looks pretty fucking dangerous.

[–]JayPetey 31 points32 points ago

That's because it's Rio. You can hang out on cliffs all day and you'll still probably get robbed and murdered before ever falling.

This last one is wrong. It shows the Amazon region, Rio is off the shot to the Southeast.

[–]desbaratto 2 points3 points ago

That looks like a tired elephant

[–]BulletBilll 1 point2 points ago

If you fall your may get hurt, but the chances of death aren't as great as the original would seem to suggest.

[–]flamingspinach_ 13 points14 points ago

The emoticon (´・ω・`) is common on 2ch (where denko guy was making his posts) and is known as ショボーン. It's usually used to depict a disappointed or downhearted emotion, or just the kind of personality that doesn't expect many good things of life.

Now it doesn't look as dangerous, but I'd still don't want to fall from that thing, who knows - maybe you could starting rolling down the cliff. Although knowing Rio I'd probably end up in a favela.

It's actually a rock outcrop perched on a hill of soft grass. If you fell, you would fall about 3 feet into soft grass. There is no danger.

I only came here to see if someone else's testicles did what mine did. We have similar testicles, it appears. We should meet up and touch them together.

[–]BobbyDuwitz 3 points4 points ago

For me, my butthole clenches. I came here to see if anyone else's did the same. I think I'll be leaving now.

But...I have you tagged as "Pretends you're a chick"

[–]funfungiguy 16 points17 points ago

A long, long time ago there was a post where a guy was at supercuts and someone said a code word like "apple" or something and everyone freaked the fuck out. Do you remember this?

I made a series of comments that took off and I raked in ass-loads of comment karma for the things I was saying... I was on fire. At some point a dude said "I love you, marry me", or something of the sort and I basically said that I was a dude but I would pretend to be a chick and we can get this party started.

Is that maybe why you have me tagged as such? I don't remember what the fuck my wife made me for dinner last night, but I sure as hell recall every fucking thing that I ever read on this soul-sucking website.

EDIT: No it appears that I said I'll pretend you are the chick...

EDIT2: Are we gonna get this party started or what?

[–]Ipeunipig 5 points6 points ago

I'm ready to party!!

Ah yes, "Testy-sense," the real life version of Spidey-sense. Because both tingle.

[–]Gormae 7 points8 points ago

Damn. I was just about to wiki Hover Bushes.

[–]Newo92 6 points7 points ago

Yeah, it's up on Pedra Da Gavea, honestly there are a lot more "dangerous" spots on this climb. All that said and done, local Brazilian climb up in fucking flip flops, and kids do the climb fairly often on weekends (added safety equipment on the rock faces).

[–]Bi-la_kaifa 5 points6 points ago

Still makes my butthole twitch.

[–]Wind789 3 points4 points ago

I want to go there just for that picture now.

[–]gabetron0 0 points1 point ago

microburst of wind pushes him off the side of the ledge - How far up is it anyways? You seem familiar with this.

[–]P0uncer 3 points4 points ago

AGGH-! GRAGH-! And....he died somehow.

[–]ENTP 0 points1 point ago

Ha, you can see a little grass from the ledge in the bottom left.

[–]BADfrog17 1 point2 points ago

there is. its not a far drop. im a brazilian familiar with the area.

[–]SOMETHING_POTATO 1 point2 points ago

I just assumed there was ground at the height where the photographer was standing.

[–]tha_ape 0 points1 point ago

I was thinking the same thing. Thank you for confirming.

[–]Kuresov 0 points1 point ago

Still... It made my palms sweaty.

[–]BloodFeces 0 points1 point ago

You can even see a bit of the grass under him in the original pic.

[–]Alexboculon 0 points1 point ago

I just go ahead and assume that context is missing from every amazing thing I see on Reddit. It's pretty obvious most times.

[–]captainwalnut 0 points1 point ago

ledge or no ledge, this photo gave me instant giblies

[–]mthomaseddy 0 points1 point ago

Whew. My palms were sweaty just looking at that one.

[–]xrapture 0 points1 point ago

"A ledge just below him out of frame"

So like 10+ feet under him?

yea... still braver than me.

[–]CoffeeMan420 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for clarifying. The first time I saw this pic, I almost shit my pants.

[–]MrNameless 52 points53 points ago

I don't remember the name off the top of my head, but it's actually a well known landmark. People do photo-ops like this all the time. The rock is actually only about 10 feet off the ground, but the way it's angled makes it appear deadly. So you appear like a daredevil with absolutely no danger.

[–]03801 75 points76 points ago

may as well repost this as well.

It's funny how visceral the reaction is, even when you know that there's a ledge right beneath the guy. And, ya know, it's just a picture too.

The weekend before my daughters 16th birthday she was spending the night at a friends house. When I dropped her off I said "Don'd do anything stupid".

7:30 Sunday morning I receive a phone call from the police department saying I need to come talk to them about my daughter. Over night her and some friends decided to "get revenge" on another girl for steeling the friends boyfriend. The revenge was salting the girls mothers rose garden, TP'ing the house and filling all the locks on the car doors with gorrilla glue.

Among other punishments my daughter did not have a 16th birthday party, and her and her friends had to dig out the flower garden, place new soil, replace all the bushes and pay the locksmith to replace all the locks.

[–]antipaste 2 points3 points ago

You Sir, are doing it right.

[–]skraptastic 7 points8 points ago

The teenaged years with her were difficult. She moved out in an angry huff just before her 18th birthday. She is almost 23 now, and she is actually not unpleasant to be around. She has a job and is back in school. I figure in another year or two I'll enjoy being around her again.

[–]Araucaria 1 point2 points ago

I feel your pain. My stepdaughter is still paying off the consequences of her 16th birthday party 6 weeks ago. Fortunately our house had less damage than what you describe.

Yes, it's the Favela Morro do Banco.
