Someone will jump within a week of its opening and force it to be closed.

They may also put a roof over it so that jumping will be impossible.  Then, jumpers will merely do it from a nearby canyon edge.

There's little that can stop a desperately unhappy person.

Why would someone pay $25 to jump off it when one can just jump off of the canyon lip almost anywhere else for a lot less? Not that money is any matter when you're dead, but still.

Hah. Great minds think alike. My reaction is it won't take long for extreme adventurers to bungee or hang glide or where they jump off a ledge and then pull a parachute. They probably won't die or even be injured but still it will be a magnet for these thrill seekers.

Me, I would not need to walk on this platform. I'd be awed so much standing on the ground where the plain tourists go.
