It has been reported by local news outlets that two men apparently fell 75 feet from a cliff on July 13th while they were playing Pokémon GO. The men were in Encinitas, a beach city near San Diego. Because they were distracted with Pokemon GO, they didn’t notice the cliff. Crews at the scene used a rope to rescue one of the men, and neither man was seriously injured.
Two Men Fell Off A Cliff Near San Diego While Playing Pokémon Go
Glad to hear that they’re okay. Sheesh I had no idea the game would blow up like this though.
You’re telling me. Even my parents are starting to play the game a little.
Hahahaha.
Oh man, that’s terrible and whatever, but seriously?
Pokemon Go is totally taking over Lol
I have been enjoying watching a youtube gamer play through it. It looks like so much fun!

Maybe they need to bring back that visual training game on the DS from some time ago.
“Peripheral vision is not a joke.”
Just wait for Pokemon Sun ad Moon
-Over 150 Pokemon (in general)
-No freemium
-No distractions
-No accidents
-No making a spectacle of yourself in public
-No false illusion of “catching Pokemon in real life”.
It’s not real life if you’re look through a mobile screen and can’t bond with these digital creatures. Capturing random outside animals and cockfights are more realistic to Pokemon than this.

“Salty” was the appropriate one, like any multiple choice situation.
There’s really no reason to be looking down at the game that intensely to where you can’t look up for a moment. Glad they are fine, but they still are idiots
Much agreed. Hell, even I put the phone down every few seconds and only look at it intensely when I’m doing something like stopping at a PokeStop or catching a Pokemon, and I always make sure I’m on a sidewalk, and NEVER look at my phone while crossing a street.
I agree, even the game itself tells you to be careful of your surroundings. A girl here in Houston got hit by a car because she was so distracted by the game. She’s ok and well thankfully and her only injury was a bruise on her head but it was her fault she wasn’t careful not Pokémon GO
Read the fucking text that shows up when you start the game, fucking idiots.
They fell 75 feet and wasn’t seriously injured? Wow! That’s a miracle. I can’t believe the stupid things people are doing just because of Pokémon Go.
As people depend on technology too much, they give up their brains!
Regardless of their safety, they’re morons not realizing their own surroundings.
STAY. AWARE. OF. YOUR. SURROUNDINGS. Also pics or it didn’t happen.

Pokemon Go: Natural Selection Edition
It’s only a matter of time before someone dies playing the game.
The warning on its startup is there for a reason.
there is an invention called common sense, mind your surroundings in english translation. i walk to the store using earbuds (the one with detachable rubber ear pieces) while listening to some music like slipknot and yes i do pay attention t the music yet i mind my surroundings like when im trying to cross an intersection, i use common sense because i dont only pay attention to one thing.
Wow. The amount of stupidity being displayed from people playing is ridiculous. I love the game, but you have to pay attention to your surroundings. There’s NO reason to be constantly looking at your screen. And if you’re catching a pokemon, find a safe place to stop walking then continue to catch it. And the people who play while driving are a very special kind of fucktard. So many idiots. It’s not the game’s fault at all.

Pokemon Go. Proud sponsor of the Darwin Awards.
You get a Warning for crying out loud.
I left my debit card in the ATM because I got distracted when I noticed there was a gym behind the bank lol
Like I said, the infection is spreading: stupidity. I bet most of the people doing stupid shit with this game are the casuals, though.
Sandy said it best: “Stupidity isn’t a virus! But it sure is spreading like one.”
It’s like an episode of Loony Toons, only they didn’t float for a bit when the went off the edge.XD
I like to think their necks stretch from their bodies falling while their heads hang in their air like “….crap.”
People have no spacial awareness…
geez whats going on with this generation?.
