Known as "falling man," "floating man," or "whitney-hartman," the petroglyph is part of the Gold Butte indian migration corridor near Mesquite Nevada. Other petroglyphs in the area tell the story of how/why the man went off the top of the cliff.

Note the person in the glyph is drawn undergoing a recumbant activity but not restful. The legs are drawn elongated and in an arc - meaing a distance or "great distance." The right arm is drawn at 90 degrees - meaning "turning not aside" or with determined/deliberate intent.
