Maybe 40 years ago. But today, nope.

From wikipedia:

Noccalula Falls, which drops into the Black Creek ravine, is marked with a bronze statue[1] of Cherokee princess Noccalula who, according to local legends, plunged to her death after being ordered by her father to marry a man she didn’t love. The bronze statue of Noccalula was, at the time of its creation, the first statue of a person jumping off a cliff. The bronze used in the statue was made from pennies collected from local school children in the mid-1960s.

Damn that girl had some big-ass feet!

Looks like she’s slipping on a banana peel more that determinedly jumping to her death. And yeah, you’da thunk the lean shoes woulda saved her.
