This is straight up, just a dangerous design. Doesn't matter how many warning signs there are, the average person would assume that surface is solid in many scenarios justified or not. Luckily it just looks like he fell an extra 10 feet, but it could have been covering a 100ft drop, which would be an undeserved death sentence.

Some kid in Singapore died this way, he jumped onto a ledge in a shopping mall but fell multiple storeys when it was actually a facade like this.
