Monkey Canyon has long been known by many, as one of the highest and most dangerous cliff diving locations in the entire greater Los Angeles are,
Fomouse for it's highest jump that stands over 50 feet above the some what shallow waters below. When attempting this jump it is impossible to see where it is you will be jumping to due to the fact that the water is unvisable. The only way to succesfully jump from there is to use a running start.
Over the years there have been three deaths in the Canyon due to people jumping off the cliffs. In all cases the cause of death was blunt force trauma to the skull and brain. A risk that is known by everfyone who attempts thye jump, yet when weighted against the adrenaline rush of jumping, it seems most just let go and try to fly.
Hopefully vistors that use the Canyon can learn to appriciate such a rare find for a metropolitan city, such as Los Angeles. Only time will tell, and time is something that the Canyon definetly has pleanty of.
