How very sad. Regardless of whether he could have been more careful or not it's a very sad moment for his family.
His poor wife's distress 😭

Hi did seem like a nice free-spirited type of guy, which is why it's a shame that people don't take a bit more care. In June a young Korean student fell from Beachy Head while jumping at the edge for a selfie.

Very sad, but statistically, not surprising.

(Yes, I see the "selfie" angle of his death is disputed by his family.)

Beach Head is an amazing place but you have to be careful!
People go there for a reason sometimes sadly.
