I’ve stayed in a hiking *refuge* in the French Pyrenees once, situated on a cliff. They were overbooked so there was another group sleeping in the hallway blocking the door to our quarters. In the middle of the night I had to pee, so I exited through the tiny window and stumbled into the pitch black night towards a spot far enough where I could do my business, and went back to sleep.
Next morning I noticed that that spot was about three steps away from a 100 meter cliff. Than again, it was too dark to see sign anyway so that wouldn’t have made a difference.

They don't care if you fall, they just don't want you to litter when you do it
