Hooked
when I was a teen, our scout troop spent a few weeks cliff jumping at Lake Powell.
While at one of the cliffs we were jumping off of, heard the loudest crack I've ever heard and watched a section of wall collapse into the water; our spotter boat (18' runabout) almost got swamped but they were able outrun the wave.
Some of us were still on top of the jump point several hundred yards away from the wall section that collapsed but felt the ground shake and noticed the crack on top of the wall where we were jumping got a little wider. That ended our day at that location and any location where there were visible cracks on the top side.
Another time, friends and I were mine exploring around Eureka Ut and saw a rock wall, not too tall but beckoned us to climb it, when we got to the top of the wall there was a 12" wide crack on the ground as far as we could visibly. Being the morons that we were, we found a post, shoved it in the crack and without not much force were able to pry the wall forcing it to collapse.
We were all pretty silent for a few hours before we spoke about how that wall could've collapsed while we were climbing it. Also very lucky we hadn't parked the CJ in the collapse zone.
