Why don't more people CTB at the Grand Canyon?

I was reading the incident report for the Grand Canyon and there hasn't been a suicide by jumping in years and years. In fact, there are way fewer falling fatalities than I expected. It seems perfect: there are 3,000 foot vertical drops which would all but guarantee death and no nets or anything (to preserve nature). I'd guess it's because jumping from that height takes a lot of will. I certainly couldn't do it.

Probably because its harder to get to there than a local building

you kinda answered it yourself, Big sharp pointy red rock seems painful. Splat . What if u hit another rock before u hit the bottom, then ur gonna feel the pain all the way down.

It can definitely put rescue workers at risk to retrieve your body, and it uses up their budget. So it's not the best place to do it.
