I hope he is okay.
At the same time I have seen a person on occasion go up there and get too close to the falls so on and so forth.
I took this pic a bit back and I was just left scratching my head:

I am not necessarily saying this current disappearance is a case of someone exerting a lack of common sense. All too many time though I have seen people doing things that have me experiencing a wth moment.

Rick,
I am guilty of standing too close to clifs, waterfalls, etc in the past.
Of course at the time I felt as though I was exercising adequate caution; as I have gotten older (and hopefuly wiser) I have come to the realization that there is a reason why we have the term "accident" (no-brainer...right?). Sometimes things just go wrong....sometimes real quick.
Hopefully this gentleman will be found safe & sound, maybe wiser.
Thanks for posting the link Rick!
