Man dies after 400-foot fall at Dead Horse Point State Park
MOAB — An American Fork man died after falling 400 feet at Dead Horse Point State Park Sunday, police said.
San Juan County Sheriff’s Office officials said Gary Nathan Abbott, 22, had been camping at the park with friends. At about 1:45 p.m. Sunday, Abbott fell to his death.
Authorities did not specify where in the park the man fell. His body was recovered a few hours later after it was located by a multi-agency search and rescue team.
Police said foul play was not suspected. Abbott’s body was taken to the medical examiner’s office for an autopsy.

That's sucks! There are a bunch of steep cliffs in that area, especially around Long canyon.

But that picture he almost took would have been worth it.

First step, make sure the GoPro is on. So on the way down, you may have time to quickly tell folks to follow you on Instagram.
If you are falling to your death, and you have a GoPro, and you are NOT filming it, that is incredibly selfish.

This guy was the brother-in-law of my good friend. My friend had to go down to Moab to drive his brother-in-laws vehicle back home. Sad deal.
Are we there yet?
