HotRod - I posted a message simply ASKING if anyone had heard any news on the young girl that had been injured. The fact that a debate was started on safety vs. risk is great (and expected after an injury such as this). I did not appreciate, however, being called "irresponsible" and being told I should just "jump off the rock myself" if I am "stupid" enough to allow my own children to jump. (Just as a side note, I HAVE jumped off). My teenage children have jumped off the lower side of chimney rock hundreds of times in the last 10 years. Somewhere along the line, that got distorted into my children jumping off the high side. Personally I think people should just mind their own business and learn that it is not necessary to always give your opinion and it is very inappropriate to judge others (especially those you don't even know). And if anyone wants to "sit around and wait for an accident", don't waste your time at chimney rock - just go out on the water and see how some people are handling their boats, now that's scary! I see people on the water that have NO clue as to what the rules of safe boating are.
