Question about Decks and Liabilities

[Chris Rackley]

We have a property in the Smokies with 3 separate decks overlooking a valley below with mountain views. Gorgeous! But...

It's a 30+ foot drop from the lowest deck to the ground, and that ground goes .3 miles down a steep, wooded hill. While our deck and railings are secure, I constantly fear someone might do something foolish -- or worse, a child might do something naively -- and fall.

What is the best way to help communicate safety to guests, and what are steps I should take to minimize liability should something happen?
