My son and his gf like to do this and take their cameras. Pretty much an every weekend event for them during summer months between semesters at college.

Here's an example of what CAN happen while exploring old buildings:

So sorry to hear what happened to the young college student. Wanted to pass this along as another reminder to 'think before you step' while out exploring.

I see a lot of urban explorer photos of Toronto. And a lot of roof toping as well. I have always wonder when it would be before one of those people are in the news for the wrong reason.

Hopefully I'll never see anyone in the new locally because of such reasons..

That suck, but Darwin is in full affect here.

Just makes it harder for real explorers to not get hassled.
