The beautiful holiday is to be remembered forever – so a tourist on the Indonesian holiday island of Bali posed for a selfie at a vantage point overlooking the turquoise sea. A short time later, however, he was dead.
The Indian slipped and fell 40 meters down, the Jakarta Post newspaper quoted the head of local rescue services, Gede Dharma, as saying on Friday. According to the information, the accident happened last weekend on the island of Nusa Penida off the coast.
The victim waited for a friend and used the time to take pictures on the famous cliff at Broken Beach, a spokesman for the local emergency services said. The rock formation overlooking the turquoise sea is a famous tourist attraction. When the man posed for a photo that his driver would take of him, he crashed, the spokesman said.
Selfie accidents are not uncommon
He urged tourists to avoid safety hazards at all costs as accidents have occurred in the region on multiple occasions. According to the report, an Indonesian tourist had an accident on the same cliff late last year. He survived seriously injured. In 2018, a Chinese vacationer fell to his death from another cliff face on Nusa Penida while trying to take a selfie.
