Ridiculous

A few people have told my that for a period of time, people were jumping off that rock weekly and that a bunch of people have committed suicide off of that rock. Is that true or just BS? It would just be crazy driving by a place where a bunch of people have killed themselves...Idk I guess I'm just curious.

SUICIDE ROCK & THE RESERVOIR One of the foremost sights that met the eye of the early travelers when they reached the mouth of Parley's canyon before entering into the Valley of the Great Salt Lake, was a huge mass of red rock which stood in the middle of the mouth of the canyon. It consisted mainly of red sandstone and had stood as a sentinel for centuries. For hundreds of years it stood as a watch tower for the Indians until, as the story goes, an Indian maiden, upon learning of the death of her brave, leaped from the top to her death on the rocks below giving it the name of Suicide Rock.

If you shoot the tube, make sure to use a sled. I've heard stories of people leaving nails in the bottom of the culverts. Could be stories, but never hurts to be safe.
