Motorist teeters on cliff edge after canyon plungehttp://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_11532751Man drives off cliff at Colorado National Monument, lands on rockhttp://www.rockymountainn...national-monument-lands-/GRAND JUNCTION — An outcropping of rock in the Colorado National Monument may have helped save the life of a man whose van came within a few feet of plunging into a canyon.
Authorities say the 34-year-old man drove some 120 feet off Rim Rock Drive in an apparent suicide attempt at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, but he called 911 after the van became stuck on the rock overhang.
His van careened into Red Canyon onto a rock overhang about six miles from the east entrance. Officials at the scene said if the van had missed the overhang by 10 feet, it would have plummeted the entire 300 feet to the bottom of the canyon.

Its a bit late to come to your senses when you are balancing on a cliff face.  Bloody idiot, think of all the taxpayer's money he used up for his rescue, not to mention the danger he put the rescuer's in. |

Quick research shows it might be a false positive based on faulty heuristic analysis on the part of Kaspersky. But could be legit too. I'll kill my link on that chance. |
