I don't think you misrepresented anything, the mist recent death was only reported in detail in local media.

I read the article in the Journal of Travel medicine. I don't know what exactly they looked at or if all deaths do go through the Coroner's office. But, for example, they claim at the end of the discussion of their data that there were no deaths reported from 1993-2001. I know of one example from 2000 when a team of absailers, doing a charity abseil, got caught in a rockfall. Two died and at least one was severely wounded. It was a dramatic event that was widely reported. I remember the day, the helicopters going to and fro, the news on the radio. It left a clear impression.

There was also a period, late nineties probably, the local media reported the ranges did daily sweeps of the carparks for abandoned cars, it was so bad at the time.

There are a lot of accidents, you see people do very silly and risky things all the time.

I have impression suicides are kept low profile, if only to not spread the notion this is the spot to do it.

The memorials left by people can be heart-rending and moving. I remember one instance south of Hag's head where I spotted a little solar powered light among the grass and flowers a closer look revealed a small stone angel secured in the soil next to it, half coveted in wild thyme. It was subtle and ever so sad.

Another time a bunch of flowers was left against the flagstones near the edge, a lovely spot looking north to O'Brien's Tower, the Aran Islands to the left and the Connemara mountains further back. I sat there for a bit (my wife, her sister and our son were falling behind a bit so I waited) and thought about how someone had picked that spot for the lovely view, a last look at the world before going over the edge. Then a German girl dropped and asked me why there were flowers. 'Someone jumped'I told her. She looked at the edge, pulled out her phone and took a photo of the flowers and walked on.
