Preikestolen, or Pulpit Rock, is a popular tourist attraction in Norway.

Chris Kitching tweeted this picture of the couple while Fred Sirevåg warned them of the danger.
Yes, that is a baby on the edge of the cliff. 
Hiker Fred Sirevåg spotted a couple who placed their baby....
near to the cliff's edge to take a picture, prompting some alarm 
from those nearby. 
"You'd pretty much be dead if you fall down," he told them, 
although in this case "pretty much" seems optimistic. 'I think it was 
very irresponsible," Sirevåg told The Local Norway.
Sirevåg himself was sitting at a respectful distance from the edge, 
photographing the mountains, when he saw this strange sight. 
While some choose to stay away from it, there are plenty of tourists who 
approach the edge for photo ops. 
Of course, these tend to be grown adults with full motor control 
and an understanding of what they're getting into. Luckily, 
the baby was soon scooped up by its parents and the family 
went on their merry way. 


Preikestolen, or Pulpit Rock, is a popular tourist attraction in Norway.


Suggestions say that including a fence might not be such a bad idea,
 but Preben Falck, general manager of the Stavanger Turistforening, 
the local tourist board, doesn't like the idea of fences or warning signs. 
"That would spoil the experience," he says, 
though he adds that when he brings his children to Preikestolen, 
he keeps them at a safe distance from the edge. Besides, 
adds former hiking guide Kjell Helle Olsen, 
a fence might not even make a difference, as people would just climb over it. 
Maybe people should avoid placing their babies at the edge of cliffs? 
The cliff has a sheer 2,000-foot drop into a fjord.
