The Grand Canyon has barriers to keep visitors from getting dangerously close to the edge. Which of course some ignore and annually there’s 2-3 deaths a year.
I was at the Navajo Reserve about 5 years ago. No fence! I stayed on the trail and took pictures where it was clear.
I saw one very overweight kid (400lbs) trip and he was rolling towards the edge, but he did manage to stop in time. Another guy I saw, was leaning over the edge, as if he was an eagle. My thought when seeing him was, “What if a sudden wind passed by as he was leaning forward?”
If you go to the skywalk the Indians have NO Barriers at the canyon and you can quite easily fall off the edge
I was just there a few years back and there were a lot of people defying the barriers and jumping out onto ledges just to get a cooler selfie.
I couldn’t watch. Gave me the gee willies.

Some years back at Grand Canyon I was watching a young Japanese girl walking backward toward the edge of the drop off. Her friend was taking pictures. She was within a couple of feet of the edge. She was totally unaware. I went and grabbed her arm and very forcefully pulled her away from the drop off. I then pointed to the drop off. She scurried away.
