Sounds fun! Where’s this cliff?
I’m sure there are lots of places around the world. For one, the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs in southern England tells people not to go near the edge

i have a personal policy of not getting closer to a ledge than my own height, so if i trip and fall over i’ll at worst end up with my head over the ledge.
I’m tall and I have the same policy with railings less than half my height. I could just seesaw right over it
Being tall in a country of short people means sooooo many short railings, fucking hell
I rock climb and work at height. My policy is to stay attached to something as much as possible. And if I can’t do that - be very careful and aware of the edge.
unless your taekwando training kicks in and you automatically roll
Saw a karate student fall off their bike in front of the class a long time ago, their front wheel hit something or locked up, bike flipped forward, they did a forward roll perfectly and had no idea they did it until the class watching from inside told them.
I mean… does that mean there’s a chance if I fall I’ll get a 6’ tall marble monument? That sounds so much easier than being crazy popular or succesful. Or is it just, the first per cliff, so I’d need to find a new less obvious cliff at the same park.
i think it’s probably a famous person who died to that cliff, so you still have to start off being famous. also most cliffs have already been discovered and people have died at them, so you need to build a new one and that costs a lot of money, and only then can they build a monument to your stupidity.

To be fair, that’s probably part of the reason cavemen liked it. People who may attack them fall off the cliff and die. Maybe they can also chase prey off the cliff?
i don’t think cavemen would’ve enjoyed meat pudding
I know this is a joke, but running animals off of ledges is a very ancient and common hunting practice.
oh I didn’t actually think about that. TIL. thanks for responding sincerely despite my bad joke.
extreme example of survivorship bias
Darwinism at its best.
Only if they haven’t yet procreated.
They probably have. Which, incidentally, is also Darwinism
I mean a fence is pretty much closed.
Well that’s it then, people want to pose with the marble monument for a picture.
Famous cliff people 🤪
Maybe you just need to add a reverse psychology sign saying how so many people have fallen and it is a hip things for older couples to go do.
Aww, that’s a lonely Valhalla

The Swedish linguist Adolf Noreen started questioning the myth at the end of the 19th century,[5] and it is now generally accepted among researchers that the practice of suicide precipices never existed
Still a funny show though
