BRYCE, Garfield County — Bryce Canyon National Park officials say they’re reviewing a viral video of a man jumping from an overlook railing and nearly slipping off a cliff into the canyon.

“Considering that this occurred at one of the park’s most popular viewpoints and dislodged rocks onto the heavily trafficked Navajo Loop below, we are extremely thankful that no serious injuries occurred,” park spokesman Peter Densmore said in a statement.

The brief video was shared on the Instagram page TouronsOfYellowstone, which depicts people engaging in risky behavior at national parks. The clip shows a man running to the railing and vaulting over it, falling onto his back and slipping a few yards before he comes to a stop near the edge of the cliff.

A woman can be heard screaming as the man falls.
