0:48Now PlayingA hiker plunged to his death moments after posing for a photo on the top of a rock in Brazil – and the horrifying fall was caught on camera.
Caio Rocha Aguiar Arrabal, 44, clambered onto the rock in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday to take the now-tragic snap before falling almost 500 feet to his death, Brazilian outlet Globo reported.
A fellow hiker on the Pedra do Macaco trail warned him to be careful as he tried to make his descent – and her harrowing screams were heard on a video recorded at the scene.
