I'd suggest building a giant hand of Armok sticking out from the bottom of the waterfall, with lots of grates to let the flow through.
May Armok catch you when you fall, and may all thine loot be recovered.

A nice note: if you build a bridge and their prefered building direction is on the other side of the river, you're just sending them to die
Building a walkway 1 level higher and marking that high traffic and the river restricted will take care of everything.

Best idea until now, mix with a bridge as a walkway so you can incorporate the dwarfiness of this:

I embarked on an island, saw the ocean was frozen, and decided to dig a fort in there. I forgot that it wasn't a freezing biome...

I forgot to pause before using the washroom, and came back to find that my entire fortress jumped over the cliffs in an attempt to retrieve a barrel of cloth from a human convoy that fell down.

FUN all around! Though that was my best fortress to date :(

That's the problem with religions based around suicide, they just have trouble keeping their constituents.
