Rescuers responded to the Grand Canyon West Skywalk after a 33-year-old fell into the Grand Canyon. A man fell 4,000 feet to his death from a popular tourist attraction walkway in the Grand Canyon, according to authorities in Arizona. The man, only identified as a 33-year-old male, was on the Skywalk at Grand Canyon West before he went over the edge, plunging into the canyon below, the Mohave County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue said in a Facebook post. On June 5, a technical rope rescue team responded to the Skywalk – a horseshoe-shaped glass bridge that extends 70 feet out over the canyon's rim – after a report of someone going over the edge.
