Pulpit rock in Norway

Pulpit rock 
Is a popular tourist attraction in Forsand, RYFYLKE, Norway. It consists of a steep slope rises 604 meters (1982 feet) with a flat head almost of about 25 by 25 meters. 
Increased tourism to the site in recent years, to between 150,000 and 200,000 visitors in 2012, and this is what made ​​it one of the most natural tourist attractions in Norway. 
Abyss was formed during the ice age, before nearly 10,000 years. 
The authorities chose not to install a fence or other safety devices because they felt that this would detract from the natural beauty of the site and the fact that the number of deaths at the site are extremely rare. Moreover, there were fears that the fences or other devices may encourage adventure such as climbing the fences. It should also be noted that the policy of the Norwegian authorities are "We can not all fencing nature in this country," and this policy is supported by the Norwegians, who are generally more accustomed to the "serious nature" of their country from foreign tourists. 

There has been no case of accidental death at the site until October 2013, when he fell from the top of Spanish tourists died. There have been previous cases of suicides and suicide attempts. In February 2000, a woman jumped Austrian and Norwegian man out of the abyss together. In October 2004, two German couple was on their way to the abyss of suicide but were stopped by the Norwegian authorities before they could implement what determined it.
