Wearing a harness makes this nearly 100% risk free unless somehow as he falls his neck wraps in the lanyard and gets snapped which I do not think is possible. But wouldn’t it be cool if it did wrap around his neck, ripped his head off, which then fell into the falls while his lifeless body hung by the tether? Wonder what ABC/the lawyers would do then?

20-30 per year average. Never knew it was that high until a couple months ago when I looked into it to prove a point about Wallenda falling not being that big a deal to one of the “the image of the falls with forever be associated with death” people. I knew plenty of people had committed suicide there but just not that it was so many. ---
