A woman died after she jumped in the air while posing for a photo on the edge of Seven Sisters cliffs, an inquest heard.

Hyewon Kim, 23, had asked a stranger to take her picture but when she landed she slipped, falling 200ft to the beach after losing her footing as she landed. She died from catastrophic head injuries on June 22, her inquest in Eastbourne heard.

Kim, from South Korea, had come to the UK to improve her English. Detective Sergeant Tod Stewart from Sussex Police told the inquest: There were six photos of her close to the cliffs. They were showing her jumping in the air extremely close to the edge.

Her concentration is not on anything other than what she is doing. The expression on her face shows nothing but enjoyment.

Coroner Alan Craze said: She landed with one foot beyond the cliff edge and only her other foot landing on the cliff edge.

If people do things which put them in extreme and obvious danger, there is a limit to which they can be stopped.

I notice during the holidays there is always an influx of Facebook scenic nature profile pics of white college students standing/sitting over a cliff with their backs to the camera. You don't need to risk your life over a simple photo to prove that you're an adventurous, worldly experienced, nature-loving person.

Edit: I know the person in the article was Korean, just my anecdotal experience.

Somehow I read this as "her only other foot", which greatly amused me for the second or two before I realized that wasn't what it said.

Encephalon injury.

Also, who the fuck jumps around near a cliff? This isn't sad, it's the most logical outcome.

It's not. You don't get to do something incredibly stupid, fall victim to the incredibly obvious risks of that stupid thing, and suddenly it erases the fact that you did a stupid thing.

Is somebody decided they wanted to be the next Youtube sensation by shaking there ass over a wood chipper, and subsequently fell ass first into that wood chipper, that wouldn't be sad. You know what's sad? That they weren't smart enough to avoid doing that stupid thing in the first place.

Edit: Oh, and let me just cut the usual rebuttal of "if it was someone you knew, you would be devastated!" off at the knees. One of my friends decided it would be a great idea to pop a wheelie on his bike while doing 120 with his girlfriend on the back. They hit a sign, and both had their heads cut off. That isn't sad, and fuck him for doing something so incredibly dangerous and taking someone else down with him.

Zero sympathy for stupidity.

It's very clear that it was the "pathetic" sort of sad, and not the "boo hoo" sort.

I'll make sure to be crystal clear in the future to help you out.

Sounds like a south korean over-seas student. Feel bad for her and her parents. Dying 6000-7000 miles away from home. It also costs a lot to ship a corpse on plane and being that far.

Unfortunately i had the experience of helping a family go through the process.

Young girls die every day, and most of them aren't fucking around near cliffs. You know what would have prevented her from falling off a cliff, with a one hundred percent success rate? Not fucking around near a cliff.

You don't get sympathy for being stupid, and then facing the consequences of being stupid.

And that must suck for them, doesn't change the fact that their daughter is dead because she was fucking around near a cliff. This isn't a tragedy, it's the logical outcome of doing an incredibly stupid thing. I'll save my empathy for people who didn't cause their own death through idiocy.

If, instead of fucking around near a cliff and falling off she were trying to juggle chainsaws and cut herself in half, would that still be 'sad'? Fuck no, and anybody who says they would be lamenting a tragedy is a fucking liar.
