        Politely steps out of the way of a photo…

        …Into the literal Grand Canyon.

        I’m glad he’s okay.

          Good luck is not falling in the first place.

            Difference in outlook, I suppose. I’d call not falling the “default state”.

              Regardless, almost dying and ending up in the hospital definitely seems like a negative relative to the neutral “default state”.

                Not when you compare it to the alternative outcomes of falling off a cliff!

                Think it’s been thoroughly established that this is gonna be a difference of opinion.

                  It’s good that he survived. It’s bad that he fell into the Grand Canyon. There, I solved it.
