In one of his last Instagram posts, Gamble, spoke about the things we can all learn from "our younger selves".
He wrote: "Life isn't about responsibilities, tough decisions and hard work, it's about feeling bliss and living in the moment."
They lived and died Living In the Moment...
jimmy e they have been extremely successful 😉
if you call instagram fame successful, I don't know what to say.
They are basically contractors, advertising for corporations in exchange for free trip. Just another form of corporate slaves. I don't understand why that is a success.
Dany #gotaworldtosee
No, they were just bunch of rich kids playing around and they died because of their irresponsibility. Draw the correct conclusions from this.
jimmy e lmao they were successful? You measure of success must be tiny. Im trying live my best life for many years. Not jumping off a cliff and say thats what life is about. These kids didnt own anything. No influence in the world. No land. No homes. Didn't leave any mark in the world. Thats your type of success though.
deep
If the pool at 1:30 is where the incident happened, it would have been truly suicidal to have jumped over the ledge to try to rescue Megan Scraper.
Is that what they did?
@@ricoramsmomzbabydaddy7689 yah
I think she slipped and both men tried to catch her but the current overcome all three of them x
The rock where the reporter says she slipped is below that pool. But, that seems inaccurate. There is a picture of Alexey in what looks like the outflow area from that pool, if we are to believe that picture. It is very confusing where exactly and what happened. Extremely poor reporting, considering there were witnesses.
It amazes me how people can joke about other people dying..
th-cam.com/video/T9SKkd79AjQ/w-d-xo.html
cxrter no joke intended, just beyond comprehension they would be up there simply to post on Instagram..!!??
The biggest joke is that people take risks like this for Instagram "stardom".
Joe that’s not exactly what happened. They went up there and one girl she fell and the two other guys tried to grab her causing them to slip
cxrter Yup..dumbases dieing is funny
SHE FELL FIRST ...then the 2 males got swept away tryin to save her. Terrible tragedy.
If the shoe fits...
BTW, not to let facts get in the way of your righteousness, but that's what witnesses within their own group reported seeing.
@Kenzie Jean just stop being feminist for once also at this point as someone who technically ppl call female I’m non binary and I say u both suck u all are bad sports and get used to it cause it’s what u are that’s how I look at this sad world
Feminism has no desire to reverse the fact that men are still clinging to the old social conditioning of being womens protectors and saviors. Why wouldn't you want all the old benefits of your own gender, as well as all the benefits of your opposite?
*Prayers to their families and friends*
Clorox Bleach nah
th-cam.com/video/T9SKkd79AjQ/w-d-xo.html
You don’t pray TO people, you pray FOR them. Jeez, no wonder why many of those thoughts and prayers go unanswered.
They were praying as they were falling..."ooohhhhh ggggoooddddd!"
Mobile Oppression Palace they go unanswered because there is NO GOD
Must ALWAYS respect Mother Nature.
I had a moment with my boyfriend when we visited Devil's Churn on the Oregan coast. It's the same type of thing where you're allowed to go down and view at your own discretion. He kept on wanting to get closer and closer to the edge as the waves kept crashing up onto the cliffs. I started to panic and was screaming at him but he felt like he was in no danger whatsoever and still feels that way. What I remember is us both constantly slipping on rocks before we were even close to a cliff. He was the one getting close to the edge, btw....I was the one standing and screaming at him to come back. I imagined something like this happening.
If he does that a few times more his luck will run out.
O.my god!!!
Some people have no clue how slippery rocks can be, very very sad.
Okay, so, the news people just showed everyone how to get up there and showed how pretty it was and then go and say they're concerned these 3 young people's deaths will potentially cause more people to go there and get hurt? You just did a tutorial how to get up there!!! Wtf. 24 hour news is really dark
People are going to do dangerous stuff like this regardless. People go rock climbing, spelunking, sky diving, bungee jumping, they ride motorcycles and race cars competitively, and they go on steep hikes. This is a designated hiking rout with hand rails and precautions for your safety, it’s perfectly legal. The news people were just trying to warn you of the dangers and show how careful you need to be.
It's not hard to find the trail
Good report very sad indeed. A day in the sun turned tragic. Be careful no more tragedies.
One can only push your luck for so long before it runs out, this is a tragic prime example of this.
Yeah because hiking is really pushing your luck hey
@TheOfficialBOV Yeah, in that particular area it definitely is.
As the reporter concisely demonstrated.
If it was actually that dangerous there isn't a hope in hell the reporter or camera crew would go or be allowed up there. Yes there is a danger, but no they did not push their luck, it was a tragic accident where the girl fell into the pool, her boyfriend immediately jumped in after her and his best friend followed, unfortunately they were all swept over the falls. Pointless comments like Steve Hernandez are unnecessary and a desperate attempt at a few likes.
TheOfficialBOV, yes, who ever saw a reporter out in a hurricane, or reporting from war zone? Who's ever heard off a reporter dying covering a story? Oh, yeah, there have been thousands, haven't there?
Like I said it's not as dangerous as they are making it out to be, Steve Hernandez is most likely someone still mad they went off the trail in yellowstone national park leaving his pathetic comment. Going up a hiking trail that is actually in place with ropes etc is not "pushing your luck". This was a tragic event where the two tried to save the girl they were with, which is heroic if you ask me. Everyone is up in arms trying to get their two cents in because they were vloggers who built a company around doing what they love. They probably did more and saw more than all of you can dream about. Its pathetic when people take to the internet during a tragedy just to knock what they were doing. FYI I have been up that trail it is as dangerous as any other hiking trail, accidents happen. Also FYI journalists who report in the hurricanes and the ones who report in wars arn't the local 5 o clock news team lol
Rest in Piece Megan, Ryker and Alexey. I miss them, Ryker is always my favorite in High on Life youtube channel.
3 people slipped and died here so let me bring a camera crew up here and put them all in danger to show you. You could have just explained it from the parking lot!
Most epic comment ever!!!!!!
One person slipped and fell (the female), the other two jumped to "save" her. Just sayin.
girl slipped the 2 men died trying to save the slipper
Ya think??
No one wants to watch a news report filmed in a parking lot.
I can't believe 60% of the comments are people making JOKES about this horrible, tragic incident. These beautiful people were young and deserved to live maaaaany more years. Their families and friends are in despair and here you are, making jokes about the life being taken from 3 young, happy people. May they all rest in peace.
It's dangerous getting that perfect Instagram pic.
time to ban Istagram
👋 Hello the falls are very beautiful. I Thankyou for your video . My ❤ heart goes out to all those we lost amd there families..
Those guys really really inspired me so sad what happened to them, couldn’t believe it at first .. :((
At least those two guys died trying to save somebody. A lot more honorable than how most people go out.
3 young people washed away just like that. It's a shame.
They lost their lives, their families and friends are in pain, more inexperienced hikers will attempt to climb it due to publicity, probably more fatalities, all this to have a good photo on Instagram. It doesn’t make sense to me.
Abdullah Barak Not after the news footage which clearly emphasizes the potential danger.
please, it's not the hiking part that is dangerous. It is a legitimate hiking trail, all right?

Travelling is their passion dude.
@@l0vet075 So is mine but it doesn't mean I can be reckless
@@binshuo That link is for a different trail. But yes, the trail to the pools is a legitimate hiking trail which people hike daily.
It’s extremely sad what happened. BUT there’s a reason why people are recommended not to swim there🙁
I hiked up here yesterday. It’s definitely very dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing! It’s better to just go to the upper pool and be cautious of the slippery rocks. The lower pool is much more steep and slippery.
2:21 is so true. I guarantee there's already plenty of thrill seekers, adrenaline junkies etc. flocking to this spot. And many think they're better or smarter than those who died... and will take the exact same risks. Worse, many will undoubtedly film their bravery/stupidity. And the cycle will continue.
Darwin approves.
Im SuperMacho💪
Good job, real journalism.
Yall couldn't even get a drone out there? It would be nice to see the falls from a perspective that shows how high up they were
RIP & Love from Jakarta, Indonesia
Why do you think they are called Falls.......
One of their friends slipped and the others tried to save them😭❤. They didn't do it for the thrill of it they did t to try and save their friend.
RIP💓
No they are not living in the moment, I'm a guide and been with some digital influencer, what they did isn't as fun as what the reality is. Remember, social media is just altered reality.
what exactly happened, they all slipped at the same time and all plunged?
This is so sad, if only they made the right decision to not go so close to the edge
They need a big sign to not allow people at all in that pool. Those young kids took the risk and they pay for it.
i know... it's harsh but that's what happens if you do things that are dangerous
I live in bc and I went to the waterfall 2 weeks ago
i would have love to splash around that nice cold water. They should tie a rope across so that if anyone slip, they can try grab on the rope and there's not even a warning sign. People, take safety for granted. That's why you can't help having to put signs. Even in nature parks. :p
well, at least you won't fall down the river. :p
*Yes I* *Hate you too* hahaha you crazy ... no if any of these "travel vloggers" do such thing they will not gey many views.. and you know views and like is what everbody lives for...some one to tell us *we are so special*
...
not really. vloggers need those views and like for commercial reason. the more crazy, the more views and advertising money.
That`s the first thing I thought when I saw the pool.
There’s this new thing called common sense. And it won’t cost taxpayers a single cent.
Don't go chasing waterfalls....
10171981 lmao
10171981 inappropriate
:O
10171981 good song
Very Nice, keep it up!
Couldn’t they have just used a drone to film this?
Nathan Chavez No, it’s two different types of footage.
Go out from your comfort zone and stop living...tsk tsk! What a tragic loss may their souls Rest In Peace.
At what point does adventure seeking become stupidity?
At the moment you enter mother Natures greater forces unprepared and Underestimating the severity of what you are doing wrong...
There are lots of ppl dying like this (different stories/places , same endings) every year. It often doesnt look dangerous or complicated to thrillseekers, but most of the time it is those simple looking places that ends their stories....
I've seen a similar situation in another country just a few days ago .. Two thrillseekers attempted to get close (away from the track) to a waterfall (similar to Shannon falls). Those got stuck and had to get picked up by helicopter.
The force of the stream stream constantly varies and the waterspray follows the wind changes...so you could enter by a dry path that in seconds are foamy and slippery just by a change of wind. Approaching waterfalls like that is just plain stupidity.
@Mike McGlock --- yeah, I agree 100%. Still, this has got me thinking about some of the alpine/ice climbers I follow on social media, wondering if they are part of the stupidity.
One important difference between the people that I like to follow, say Will Gadd, and what I've seen on HOL, is that the people I like to follow ALWAYS emphasize responsibility, risk assessment, safety precautions, etc. Social media can be a good platform for a dose of safety.
I haven't seen that AT ALL on HOL, in fact quite the opposite. HOL seems to cater to the people who get inspired to go to the crag and end up needing rescue, while never having thought to learn the basics of self-rescue.
yes they are and when they get in trouble others have to risk their lives to save them There are so manny invalids people who would love to be able to walk these people are also invalids in their brains not knowing how lucky they are they are able to run walk and clime to swi m etc
deliman7203, as soon as you take a plunge in the Shannon.
deliman, just before they fell.
I hope Shannon is okay
Rahil .S took me a second but lol 😂
Me too.
She’s dead
#metoo
Rahil .S 3 points for Griffindore
If it was your family most of u who who are joking about the deaths wouldn't be joking anymore.
Why not just use a drone to show? Why get more people in danger ?
Putting the four of them in a drone is more dangerous!!!
Kathy I meant use a remote drone to film.... Not putting them in a drone lol
Unfamiliar with tongue in cheek humor Fernando?
I think they did the right thing. It looks like they got a local scout to take them up there and it seems that is a legitimate hiking trail so people can hike up to that point. Might as well educate people about how dangerous it can be. Hiking is a lot of fun but only if you are prepared and aware of what you are getting into. A drone wouldn’t have let hikers know that the rocks are for example extremely slippery. This was well done and I am glad they did it.
humor? what kind of drone can you safely use to transport 4 people anywhere? I proved my point....
What is the name of their channel??
blessed me ... its called High On Life.
RIP..... you can not play with mother nature
Very sad
There's a powerful message here, Don't go chasing waterfalls.
This is the best report about alexey Ryker and mindy may they rip
For those unaware of the situation and think these people were just being reckless.
The girl *slipped* and fell. Her two extremely loyal and caring friends jumped in after her because they loved her and wanted to *save* her.
Please *stop* joking and throwing absolutely disgusting comments, when you aren’t aware of how different the situation was to how this makes it seem.
So sad
I go by Shannon falls every year hiking up Sea to Sky & the Chief and everyone knows not to go near the top pool of the falls, I’ve been to the place they died and you would have to be so dumb to even think about going near the water smh...
The girl slipped by accident and fell in to the waterfall. Her boyfriend and his friend panicked and jumped in to try and save her.
this kind of life risk style pisses me off. The rescue workers are the true brave hero's here.
..yip
1:34 "Swimming here is not encouraged." No shite, Sherlock. Even a brief glance at the hazards reveals the potential. This ain't Thailand. Casual and causality. Ever notice how those two words sound similar?
"To the dead one owes respect. To the living, only the truth." Voltaire
All messy youtubers should come here and swim there. Especially tana mongoue , trisha potato, nikokado, jake pauline, logan pauline, nikita transcock
god that place is beautiful, would love to visit
All of heaven's love and comfort to all who knew and loved them, and who will deeply mourn their loss. I loved their zest for life, and admired their spirit of adventure...they were 3 very beautiful kids.
manic hairdo prob true..but made very bad choices in the end..parents friends must be devastated
Kricket Girl ... who among us hasnt made bad choices?
I live here!!!
Once you cease to respect Mother Nature, the end is near.
Never take nature for granted.
Hey it's me your dad, I'd like my hat back.
how could be 3 ppl at the same time falling?
rip for them
She fell in and they died trying to save her
How is it possible that they died in that mini waterfall?
whether or not you think they were “asking for it”, it’s still a tragedy and a loss of life. there shouldn’t be jokes and there shouldn’t be victim shaming. it doesn’t belong here. they are always in our hearts, no matter the cause.
said so kindly. I believe all of us in your youth have done something that was high risk. Rest in peace to these.
Sounds safe and not a good choice for them to go swimming
Does anyone know if they were doing this illegal? It seems like a designated hiking root
It's a well traveled trail. There are no laws against hiking there.
How do they know that Shannon fell first? Did they record it?
Witnesses
Bali waterfalls are safe to visit #wonderful indonesia
R.I.P matt's friends
Here is my advice. I am Canadian and have been all over the world. In Asia the traction is amazing in wet spots. Canada is COMPLETELY OPPOSITE. Very slippery when wet. Don't compare terrain as the same all over the world with water and rocks. IT'S NOT.
It is an extremely dangerous place ! Why did they go there ?
Just finished watching a couple of their videos... I'm not convinced that this was an "accident".
RIP
Did any of the 3 member even Go Pro it, because that's a long way down.
Don’t go chasing water falls. 🤦🏽♀️
"This is Dave Simmons with ABC news at Shannon Falls, where 3 vloggers and a CBS news crew fell to their deaths. lets get a closer look at the area where the accident occurre.."
"This is Alison Burke with NBC news, at Shannon Falls.."
After see this video, i think its better if visitor of this waterfall especially vloggers who like to act on camera near the cliff or waterfall, they give an accesorry which have GPS on that. So if someone fall, hope they will easier to find the victim
Some of you commenters are disgusting. For goodness sake they *DIED* the fact you people are making jokes is disgusting. The girl slipped and the other two tried to save her to me that’s quite heroic.
How did they all three slipped? Was there an unexpected wave?
one slipped and fell and the other two jumped in to save her
They met their match. Nature wins all the time!
Don't the name give enough of a warning?
Shannon fell..and now more have died
I wonder how they died? From impact or drowning 🤔
esils definitely impact. Shannon falls isn’t very deep.
Don't go chasing waterfalls.
"This water is intense"
What on earth does that mean?
The force. I dont understand your question. Its a steep waterfall.
Why is this news?!
People have died. Why walk the same path?
Doin too much for the gram
Ban the gram!
We need to dry off those wet rocks!
OlJeffy not sure that’s how it works 😂😂
Uhh... it’s not like someone is going to go up there and wipe gallons of water off rocks...
BRASIL ALGUÉM?
Ummmm no thanks
0:33 Mounting the rope to a dead tree. Very professional.
When your full of yourself
The Grinch ..yep it was a real high for them..until Mother Nature walked in
You're*
A CBC video where people can comment?! Everyone at their censorship dept. must be on vacation.
Save you the clicks. this is where they fell into: th-cam.com/video/NrGDe7AvPwI/w-d-xo.html The distance of that white water fall. I assume the 3rd pool is the bottom of that water fall. (not the bigger waterfall below it) I was hoping they had a chance. RIP.
Dangerous beauty no doubt.
They died living their life to the max, I hope we all can say:
"That is what people will say about us"
🙏🙏🙏
You forgot about the gravity.. it doesn't make you high on life. You'll hit hard to ground.
Tsk sheesh I'm pretty disappointed. But still sending condolences to the families and friends.
Slip and fall lawsuit....1-800-ASK GARY.
The reporter is cute💞, what's her name?
Sorry, Rudraksh but she said she didn't want to date any creepy internet strangers. The search continues..
Were these three people under twenty-five years of age? Until that age the brain is not well developed and the reason why teens and young people in their early twenties tend to take many risks. I know because I did and when I look back, I get the shivers. Anyhow, I feel for their parents.
I felt bad for them until I saw some of their posted videos and one in particular shows Megan and her boyfriend walking on a narrow metal beam that’s about 150 feet high , so I realized they must’ve wanted this to happen .
abelucious I saw that too! It’s ridiculous! It’s tragic, but it’s kind of like they were asking for it. You don’t go into forbidden areas or places that are no trespassing and you don’t swim in pools RIGHT NEAR the edge of falls. I just don’t understand that. The things people do for Instagram have gotten truly ridiculous.
captain, link?
"YOLO" - that's how the deceased would justify their demise
Exactly. I think living life to the fullest and taking risks is a PART of what life is about. But when u do take risks their always has to be a limit. So things like this don’t happen. The beam thing is idiotic and dumb. All life was to them was taking risks. Life is about EVERYTHING. Working hard. Taking risks. Family. Friends. Everything u love. But life just seemed to be risks for them. It’s sad.
Which video was that one on plz do tell I would love to see it for my own research purposes 🙏🤷🏻♀️
Don’t be shocked when those who live on the edge get sliced.
