Stunning!!! Beautiful!!!! And, if an adult wants to put himself or herself at risk, I say more power to them. However, no one should take a child there.

Yep. If I wasn't a mom I might have done this. Not standing on the edge or whatever though, but getting close there... I probably would have done that before I had DD. But to take a kid there... that's just stupid. I also couldn't bear the thought of my daughter losing her mom over something daredevilish, so I wouldn't do it now anymore.
In the article it states that there is a natural barrier at certain times of the year to prevent anyone from going over the edge.
If our kids wanted to try the falls we would let them. It would be their choice. We would be in the water with them though. To supervise....
Yes - I did get the feeling from the article that "going over" would be a lot tougher than it looks. Still - for me - no way. I won't even take my kids to the Grand Canyon until they're much older. That fear of falling thing really gets my heart going - although, ironically, I can go over crazy high scary bridges in a vehicle and not bat an eyelash!
