I think the wires might be those in the fence. There’s a wooden piece, perhaps a foot tall, which a kid could stand on for a better view, but which they would have to crawl over in order to crawl through the wire fence. Then they’d have the rather thick bushes to push through to get to the edge. My theory is that crawling through the hedge the boy couldn’t really see the ledge until he was falling over it. It’s possible he was just trying to get a better view or find a way to walk down into the enclosure, not realizing he’d fall 12 feet.
