I wonder if they happen one at a time or if there are days where one person slips and knocks another 7 off the chain on the way down. I wouldn't worry though, they probably don't actually die, if I remember my history correctly from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon when you leap off of a holy mountain you actually just glide off into the clouds like a flying squirrel.

So I speak Japanese and Chinese and just to clarify...the mountain is in China somewhere and they said over 800,000 people visit the mountain each year. I don't think this would fly in Japan either, but China is a little old-school and they let their comrades do whatever they want. When they asked the guide why they still climb up here when 100 people die each year he said that it has been a holy mountain for over a 1000 years and it was necessary to let people come experience this sacred rite. What a bunch of kooks! Nice video. So I speak Japanese and Chinese and just to clarify…the mountain is in China somewhere and they said over 800,000 people visit the mountain each year.
