At the bottom of that gorge (for those who havent seen it) you basically have a 1000+ (too lazy to look it up) chasm where the bottom is entirely taken up by a RR main, and a bigger adjacent stream. <br /> <br />Before the "jumpers" brand the railroad to be unreasonable for their appropriate concern for safety, I have to wonder if the jumpers have explored all available options? <br /> <br />Surely the 'clearance' they seek at the bottom is not desired for the actuall extent of the jump, (you don't wanna come THAT close to the ground on the rebound) but rather as a means of lowering a jumper to ground after he's done bouncing around. <br /> <br />Wouldn't a Raft or pier into the stream bed accompli***he same task?
