Pokemon Go players are getting dangerously distracted by the game, even when they're not operating motor vehicles.

In Encinitas, San Diego, two men climbed through a fenced off area to catch a Pokemon and ended up falling off a cliff edge when they didn't bother paying attention to their surroundings. One man plunged 80-90 feet to the beach below while the other man fell "only" 50 feet and got snagged on a bluff.

Even more incredibly, both men survived and were taken to hospital with "unspecified injuries". Likely worse than any physical pain will be the enormous embarrassment that they were almost killed by a damn Pokemon game.
