The signs are all over the place. It's up to a mile to the bottom. That rock she's trusting is sedimentary rock. It's layed down in layers, which you can even see it the pic.

I wouldn't trust my life to it for something important, let alone a cheesy picture.

Probably photoshopped. Nobody would be that ignorant... Well, on second thought...
