Comparable to balancing the weight of 70 fully-loaded 747 passenger jets, the strength of the Skywalk is unquestionable, as cited on the attraction’s official website.
Investigation Underway in the Wake of Tragic Event
Following the tragic event, where the man fell at the Grand Canyon, local authorities launched an investigation to unravel the circumstances that led to the fall.
The man’s body was retrieved and taken to the Hualapai Nation. Speculations over whether this was a chilling accident or an instance of foul play are rife, but no concrete conclusions have been drawn yet.
His family has not made any statement at this time.
As the inquiry proceeds, the enigma remains as deep as the Grand Canyon itself: how did this man, at the prime of his life, end up falling from one of the most spectacular, yet perilously high, tourist attractions in the world?
