Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PepePewPew: If somebody jostled him and he fell over it (who knows, might have happened to some of the other 13 dead in the last 30 years) I'd see your point. In the specific instance of a 23 year old adult intentionally climbing over it, and then falling when trying to climb back over it to the safe zone, not so much. A taller barrier would have just increased his chances of mishap on the return half of the voyage. After he climbed over the fence he was still on a 33" ledge that also had a railing. Im not sure how he would have fallen over the railing while simply trying to get back over a 42" fence. There had to have been drunken stupidity involved. |

Mom should be in jail for raising a dumb ass.

Damn, since its CA, it might be a good play on the family. Idiots in Ca love giving money to stupid people for stupid things.

We were vacationing out of the country with the family over school break and while sight-seeing I noticed how many places we had access to that would be fenced off in the U.S. We really protect people from stupidity here.

They need a couple thousand tons of dirt to change the cliff to a gently rolling slope.

"He had so much potential"
True - and he then converted his potential energy to kinetic energy, and that's where the problem began and ended. |

The taller the fence, the farther the fall is when you do go over the edge.
