As the article points out, there are many illegal jumps made there and people don't even notice. The very scale of the cliffs means that you probably wouldn't notice unless the open parachute passed through your field of vision.

And you don't think making it legal would drastically increase the number of jumpers?

Yes I do. I think a permit system would be needed.

Controlled areas such as Kjerag in Norway and Lauterbrunnen in Switzerland have shown that it can work.
