My apologies for misinterpreting. (see pro athletes/rockstars/Congressman, that's not so hard!)

If someone could come up with a way to educate "jumpers" a little more on the risks before they are crazy enough to give it a go I think that would be great. I'm not sure how that could be done, but there are more creative people than I around the lake! I'm pretty sure most of the folks would still take a "not happening to me" attitude but at least some might think better of it.

I've driven some folks there over the years to jump both from the top and from Chicken Rock. Most were adults in my age group. As my kids friends have gotten older, and more likely to climb on up, I've restricted this to lower jumps and only after their parents are either there or completely aware of what they are doing even at that level. And for emphasis, grabbing them by the vest/ears/whatever before they get off the boat and reminding them that changing their plans to the upper point is a non-negotiable option they don't have. So far I've been convincing, but with a college student now taking them there who knows what foolishness may occur!
