Southwest USA - Current Thinking
I've never heard of a mule going over the edge
There's never been a case of a tourist being killed from a mule falling at the Grand Canyon. They have an excellent safety record. However, mules that are in training or who aren't good enough to use for tourists are sometimes used as pack mules to carry supplies down to the bottom, and there have been a few cases of pack mules falling. An animal with 4 legs is a lot more sure-footed than a person with 2 legs. If a person takes a mistep and one foot goes over the edge, they'll probably fall. But if a mule takes a misstep, it's still got 3 hooves on solid ground.
