Very sad, maybe a case of where 'elfin safety' should be more pro-active.
Sad story but there has to be a point where we know the risks and consequence of our actions and as gumbo-67 says handrails may make things worse and/or spoil a potential shot.
because god forbid a shot is ruined due to wanting to save lives....

Such as barriers on all edges where you might fall whilst walking in an area of outstanding natural beauty?
.. maybe I missed the smiley..
(yes, I work in "elfin safety" - dammed if we do and dammed if we don't :bang
Nope, just damned if you do. The word 'accident' no long exists in the English language unfortunately. :shake:
sorry but everyone knows the risks when they go to these places.. why ruin the landscape?

people need to take responsibility for their own actions, there's way to much regulation in this country, fences round beauty spots is a step too far IMO
+1...
A Simple sign warning people of the situation should be enough.
I think there isnt enough to help natural selection these days, but thats probably why people think im harsh.

It's not so much that but people would duck under or climb over - it's pretty obvious arsing around the falls is dangerous.

Not harsh just ignorant. I am sure his family would just love that comment.
I am sometimes amazed by the ignorance displayed on these pages sometimes, I had to check I had not wandered onto the daily mail site by accident.

It's not ignorance to be suprised/stunned by the stupidy of some people.
I would hope that everybody in this thread feels sorry for the family involved but all the suffering is entirely down to somebody taking uneccessary risks :thumbsdown:
I wonder how many of us have never taken any uneccessary risks? Not many I suspect.

It is ignorance to assume that natural selection needed a helping hand here, actually its considerably worse than ignorance

Why are you assuming he was acting dangerously, there is nothing in the article to indicate this, it actually says he tripped and fell.

It was a sad accident....end of really. Contrary to current thinking they do still happen.
