#1 Lets apply Liberal ____ Control logic to this situation.

We must either ban access to the Grand Canyon or Visitors MUST obtain a $200 Background fitness certification document

#2 I've hiked that area. Lots of loose rock near the canyon edge. You're walking on eroding rock structure.

I always carry a 50-ft length of para-cord, clamps and assorted crevice grips if I'm photographing near or over a canyon edge. I do tie myself off and connect to a carabiner on my heavy mesh belt, plus crawl on my belly to reach the edge.

Not OSHA, but it's kept me from going over more than once.

#6 ...I suspect that it works better in the horizontal plane rather than vertical plane.

#7 So few people today have the understanding that nature will kill them, without mercy. That the world is not SAFE. Gravity doesn't give a crap about you, it hauls you down an inch or a mile.
