I could definitely see someone falling even with cables on each side.

If you stay inside the cables, its not easy to misstep or fall from there.
I suspect she fell once she was at the top - people like to take selfies at the sheer cliffs at the summit.

Ah yes, the lure of mountaineering. To boldly go where no man has gone before....

Going back down is the hard part. I can’t remember how they controlled the flow so you don’t run into somebody coming up on your way back down. I don’t remember Park Rangers being at the top and bottom making the direction take turns. I think you just step to the side and give right of way to somebody passing you. I can’t remember.

That’s an illusion angle photo
Steepest part is 50% grade
You could sure lose control in slippery condition and slide and tumble down that especially to the sides since the trail is up a saddle side
