Reminds me of the 2008 collapse of Wall Arch in Arches Nat'l Park, Utah. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Arch https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Arch.
Just a few days before it's collapse, I was climbing on it; well, I couldn't quite get to the Arch part (so I know it's collapse wasn't my fault), but I can't help but think: if it was on the verge of collapse, would it have been able to hold a couple of 150lb monkeys jumping around on it (my buddy and me)?
