Tragic accident at the Grand Canyon

Three men have died in the Grand Canyon located in Northern Arizona just yesterday afternoon, officials have been on the case investigating the causes of this tragedy. The two survivors, Annie Fisher and Peter Fisher, both siblings survived the accident but their father Derek Fisher died in the incident.

"My dad thought it was a good day to go climbing so that me and Peter could get some practice," Annie Fisher said. "My dad was like our coach, he's passion was climbing so he trained us every time he had the chance." 

Sgt. Paul Blark says that the cause of this was equipment failure of two other hikers that were farther on top from the Fisher family, the two men are identified as Michael Jim and Scott Pam. According to paramedic Lucy Davis all three men died instantly due to the impact on the ground. The fall caused about 95% of their bones to break, suffering from several concussions and inner bleeding. Even if they would have survived they would have eventually died from brain trauma, torn limbs, and damage on vital organs to the body such as the heart.

"We didn't know the other two hikers but as a tradition in the hiking family we agreed to go all together," Peter Fisher said. "As soon as they got loose our own equipment couldn't handle all of our weight and that's when they fell."

Both Annie Fisher and Peter Fisher are being treated by a physiologist to surpass the trauma of the accident that killed their father. Peter stated that he was under pressure to either obey he's father or to disobey him with the possibility of all of them dying. Peter Fisher cut Derek Fisher's rope to let go off his weight since their equipment couldn't hold on to any more weight. Now he has to face he's new reality as much as possible after having to been forced to commit such a decision of killing his own father.

"This is the dangers that every single hiker face when they decide to climb, they have to keep in mind that one day they can climb but never return alive," Sgt. Paul Blark said. "What happened here is a tragedy and we encourage every hiker to think hard about climbing this extremely high canyons and mountains before actually doing it. They have to bear in mind that they are going up against death itself. Three men have died but fortunately two have survived and we're hoping to decrease the amount of deaths of hikers by encouraging more precautions."
