The BBC is reporting another fatality at Clogwyn Coch - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-north-west-wales-43106407

- with a poor walker taking a terrible slip and fall from the Llanberis path up Snowdon.  Should the authorities put up a fence or wall along the side of the path at that point - Clogwyn Coch - to help prevent any further fatalities at what is becoming a regrettably well-known place for such falls? Should we urge that course on them?

In reply to Chris_Mellor:

It's not the path itself they tend to fall from - that's quite a long way back. It's the railway, where show builds up and creates a 'killer convex' slope. 

The Rhyd Ddu and Watkin Paths (and the top of the PYG actually) are a lot closer to some big drops, and the accident rates there are lower.
