Pokemon Goooooooooooooooooo

Two men trying to catch Pokemon instead caught some serious air after they fell off a cliff in San Diego on Wednesday, authorities said.
The two pokédopes were chasing the virtual reality monsters using the "Pokemon Go" app, a smartphone game that puts an overlay on a user's surroundings. They ignored warning signs and crossed a fence bordering the edge of a beachside cliff, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department confirmed.
One man fell 75 to 100 feet before hitting the beach and catching a life guard's attention, Encinitas Fire Battalion Chief Robert Ford estimated. The other man fell about 50 feet before becoming stuck. That man was found unconscious [nbcsandiego.com], NBC San Diego reported.
"That's a significant fall," Ford said. First responders had to rappel from the top of the cliff to reach the trapped man.
