I'm just not sure why you assume he wouldn't get a foot or so up, look down, get frightened, decide to come down, maybe need some help, etc. It's an opportunity to learn from direct experience or an opportunity to reinforce compliance without any exposure to real-world risk
Not saying "don't warn your children about the dangers around them," I'm saying that children are actually pretty good at evaluating obvious, visible risks, especially once they've been pointed out, & that exploring them may actually be an important aspect to their development.
