From the article in the OP link: "Taylor and Hall, who were on a trip to Goblin Valley State Park with eight Boy Scouts, recorded the moment they dislodged the rock from the spot it had been perched for 170 million years."

IMO, these idiots are on par with the woman that "restored" the antique painting in the church (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2012/08/elderly-woman-ruins-19th-century-fresco-in-restoration-attempt/). They have no clue as to the proper way to deal with an irreplaceable item and are too stupid or arrogant to contact the authorities to let them take care of a perceived problem.
