OK,
it wasn't EXACTLY the edge of a cliff. It was, however, the top floor
of a three story parking garage. The as-yet unnamed 25-year old woman
was at the garage at the Valencia Town Center in Santa Clarita, CA at
about 5 pm practicing her motorcycle driving with some friends. She hit
the low wall, was thrown over the handlebars and hit the ground.
Hard. The people at Macy's were not amused.
Reminds me of the time I had a ride along supervisor when I drove for UPS. The transfer station in San Francisco was a three story building with parking for trucks and trailers on top. It also had a low wall surrounding the parking area above the street. Anyway...I drove up to the top of the building pulling a set of doubles with my supervisor beside me. I was driving a cab over with no real front hood and drove right up to the retaining wall and stopped about a foot from the edge. Supervisor just about crapped his pants when he looked down three stories to the street below.
