  1. Even if their own lives are so worthless that they’d risk them like this, they also endanger the lives of rescue crews sent to recover their remains.

  2. We head west when lockdown ended. There was fierce wind blowing, plenty of people jumped the wall. I know the wind was blowing inland, but it was still crazy.

  3. Back in the day we used to sit on that ledge with a picnic.
    Often sat on the top of a scaffold lunch on a building site too.
    A fall from either height would kill you.
    Nobody ever fell though.

  4. When you get those news reports of people dying in these areas keep in mind of this scenario. People are stupid and Charles Darwin’s theory is real.

  5. Not as a proud Clareman that is what your supposed to do on a cliff.
    One of my best memories in life is to be at the base of the cliffs at low tide and see the random rockfall explosions

  6. Reddit Ireland turned into the Journal comments section so slowly I barely noticed. Live a bit for God’s sake

  7. That wall isn’t that old. Back in the 90s there was no cliff side restrictions. Other than a few warning signs, it was just assumed humans would use their brains.

  8. I mean it’s personal reponsibility, they’re only endangering themselves. People base jump, free solo climb etc… I wouldn’t, but people should be able to take risks with their own lives.

  9. I get being this mad over someone potentially endangering other people’s lives, but potentially endangering your own life is fine with me. I won’t feel sympathy or anger over someone climbing the wall. Same way I won’t feel anything if someone were to fall free climbing or doing something else potentially self endangering. 🤷

  10. my dad told me a story of how he used to get down on his stomach and crawl towards the ledge so he could pop his head over and look straight down lol

  11. Back in the noughties in secondary school we went on a trip along some cliffs, you could literally look down and see how dangerous it was. Whoever thought it was a good idea to take a bunch of teenagers, including some who were acting the eejet, definitely shouldn’t be allowed to organised school outings.

  12. I think you’re the knobhead actually. They’re natural cliffs. The arbitrarily placed man made wall is only a recent addition. People can make their own risk benefit calculations.

  13. Really the sign should read “risk falling off at your own peril, but expect absolutely no one to have to go and recover your remains as a result. “

  14. What, they’re grand, far enough from the edge. We did that too before the wall went up.

  15. When i was last there, God i think it’s 23 years ago, there was no wall you could just walk over and look over the cliff edge. I never did though, as i thought it was nuts to do so. I wouldn’t put that much trust in the ground beneath me, not to give way that close to the edge. The stuff of nightmares

  16. When I was there once about 23 yrs ago I saw a young woman standing at the edge, leaning into the wind off the ocean. Made me nauseous just to see it.

  17. Yeah cmon Reddit. We follow the rules here and shame others that don’t, that makes us feel good.
