tonychristians Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 When I was there, the bridge was closed for a few hours while some teenagers were hauled up from the river below by firemen - they'd ignored the "people hurt themselves jumping off the rocks" warning and one had done so; I'm told nothing life-threatening, fortunately. The others had got cold waiting and weren't up to travelling over multiple waterfalls to get out. These are the crowds waiting to cross when the bridge was reopened. (The broken tread on the bridge was caused by the rescue equipment.) [ATTACH=full]1262980[/ATTACH] It always amazes me when people think that they can ignore the warnings and then act surprised when they get hurt. After I did my hike a couple of weeks ago to the Adams Canyon Falls, I mentioned to my boss that I had gone up there. He told me that when he was younger he and some friends had gone up there where one of his friends tried to climb up the falls, only to slip and not survive. Very sad.
