What is it with women and Carlsbadistan cliffs these days? For the second time in two months a woman has been injured falling from a Carlsbad cliff. In August a 19-year-old woman attempted to jump into the ocean from a cliff and missed the water (not that landing in four inches of water would have helped). Then on Tuesday night, October 12, 2010, a Riverside woman was jogging with her boyfriend when she fell 25 feet, according to a story on 10news.com.
Firefighters told 10News that the woman, who is in her 30s, was running along the cliffs with her boyfriend, when they did not realize the trail abruptly ended. . . The woman fell about 25 feet to a ledge, which sat right above another 15- to 20-foot drop to the beach below, according to firefighters.
Seems the fence that runs along the entire top of the cliff was not enough of a deterrent.

Locals know about our cliffs, dangers and to not walk too close to the edge. Running? Glad she was not killed. Take care on the bluffs.
