(going on for about 10 more photos)

This brings the total count of people swept over waterfalls to 7 so far this year.

1 fell on May 19 into Meced river from Mist Trail
1 went over Upper Yosemite Falls June 17 (my preferred way)
2 were swept over a Wapama Falls bridge near the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir on June 30.
