Grand Canyon Mather Point 100ft Fall June 3, 2017

Mather Point Viewpoint
Saturday June 3, 2017
-Had an amazing weekend at the Grand Canyon for my birthday. A real wonder with beautiful and breathtaking views.
Sadly we had an unfortunate tragic event happen in front of my family. While the Grand Canyon has areas where there is guard rails so you can get a closer look at the depth of the canyon, it is still a very dangerous place. We witnessed an intoxicated barefoot man trying to get that better view by going over the guard rail at about 7000ft. While it's not illegal, you are on your own responsibility of the danger you are putting yourself in. He was able to see that "fucking beautiful" view as he said it. We all told him to come back up and all he said was "that's gonna be the problem". We all witnessed as he lost his grip and fell about 100ft. He never came back up and stayed motionless at the edge of the big drop to the bottom of the Canyon. 911 was called and a helicopter arrived in 5 min but it took hours before they were able to rescue him. We had to give our statements and turn in all evidence. It's awful to feel that you didn't do enough to help someone. After my statement and videos were given to the Park Rangers I received an email stating he was alive with very life threatening injuries. They could not provide any further information on the case.
UPDATE! Family has confirmed that he is indeed still alive with some brain injury.
