I'd bet the folks that get hurt or die had never jumped off any high places before and had no clue of how to do it. Jumping is not something you should do if you have no idea how to do it. I know my grandsons and probably both my granddaughters will have their butts on that top jump sooner or later so I am teaching them to do it and I think everyone should teach those that they bring to the lake to do so. I have even built a tower that is about 9 feet above full pool with another platform half way up, I've started teaching them to jump and buy the time they are old enough to hit the high jump they will know how to jump and dive from that height without getting hurt. You should also not allow anyone you bring here to jump if you have not seen them do so several times from the lower levels and if they have been drinking alcohol they should not even get near the rocks to jump, even the lower jump.
