  • There we are at the top of Zion National Park via Canyon Overlook Trail, when he climbs over the rail and JUMPS! Answers to questions - I have no footage of the jumper prior to jumping. We saw him on the trail but had no reason to believe he was anything other than a fellow hiker. This was meant to be a family video and the two hiking are my wife and son. After landing, the jumper walks up a hill to the left to the road. The voices you hear while he is falling are fellow hikers that I don't know.
