“I remember turning and trying to grab … grab anything because I literally thought I was gonna die,” an emotional Jenny says. “It just changes your perspective, like even the littlest things shouldn’t bother you cause you never know. Life could change in a split second.

The video includes a disclaimer about material that may “not be suitable for some audiences.”

Of course, the size of the cliff Jenny fell down was brought into question–with some wondering if it even constitutes as a cliff.
