Chuck is right, of course. The hiking trails up above the Highway 101 turnouts are much more risky than our DXing setup spots at Rockwork 4.
I've hiked some of those trails on Mount Neahkahnie (like the one where the Victoria man fell off of the cliff) and they are far more scary. The problem is that a lot of the hikers break away from the "official" main path to get as close as they can to the plunging cliff (usually to take some awesome pictures), and don't pay much attention to the danger involved. It's very sad about the Canadian tourist.

We DX from paved vehicle turnout spots with a wall. Many thousands of people stop in the turnouts to see the view on US highway 101. I think there is no danger at all that anyone could ever fall from the walled turnout. The story of the hiker falling from a different spot (trail) is tragic but shouldn't worry us.
