Reckless Yosemite tourist dangles legs over lookout where couple died in 2018

Person standing on Taft Point, Yosemite National Park, USA

A hiker visiting Yellowstone National Park have been caught on camera this week dangling their legs over the edge of a viewpoint where several people have fallen to their deaths.

Taft Point is a popular spot that gives visitors spectacular views of Yosemite Valley, Yosemite Falls, and El Capitan. It's also a well known spot for proposals, particularly since a professional photographer's romantic picture of a couple went viral in 2018. However, it's up to visitors to keep a safe distance from the edge, and just a few days after the beautiful picture was taken, another couple fell to their deaths at the same place.
