YOSEMITE: MAN FALLS OF HALF DOME
YOSEMITE, CA,---Onlookers could not believe what they saw: A man falling off of Half Dome in the middle of a hale storm---about 1,800 Ft. Many people saw the man falling and were taken down to be interviewed
One of the rangers said that at the bottom of the clime there are signs posted---where the cables are---warnings of using the handrails during bad weather: it was hailing at the time of the incident.
As a ranger said, " Climbing Half Dome is a nice climb, a beautiful sight at the top, but the path up is very dangerous during storms."

That's just terrible. I'm sure the sight at the top of the dome is amazing, but it's probably not at all worth the risk, especially during a vicious storm.
Ah, but the view from atop places like that is worth it. My guess is that the storm came up quick and caught him off guard. It happens here all the time.
I have done some climbing at Yosemite, which is an incredibly lovely place. Not fit enough to try anything like Half Dome, though.
My guess is, if the guy had to die, that's probably what he wanted to be doing when he bought it.

The picture is absolutely stunning. But it is hard to take a bad picture of such a spectacular place!
As for the man falling, sad, but we all must die and I hope he was in a place he was happy to have as his last. I know I hope to be out in a place I love, under a sky God-created when I go, not tied to a hospital bed or in a room under a man-made roof.
Life is not worth living if you do not risk it. The most satisfaction and joy come from risking and finding what awaits you on the other side of the risk!
