    Re: Cliff jumping death

    It seems to me that the high dive platform at Rick's is just an invitation for disaster. Obviously, many people are being injured and worse. So why not close the highest dive platform and make another one at maybe half the height of the current one?

    People could still jump, but much more safely, and the 'Rick's Vibe' would not be affected.

    Is that too simple a solution? Why invite tragedy by providing a high dive platform? People get drunk at Rick's and with that comes impaired judgment (most of us can relate to that). If there is a high dive platform, people who shouldn't be jumping from it will jump - guaranteed.

    I say close off the high platform and build another one at half the height. Save injuries and ruined lives.

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$ say different.


    Hey Jambarney,
    Can you please take a second and tell everyone how you really feel. No need to sugar coat it.


    My condolences to the family and friends of this young man.
