To be fair, they weren't "playing", but were trying to cross the river above the falls. From the article:
"A written police statement said the couple was attempting to cross the river above the falls when they disappeared."
As an old fart in their age bracket, I can totally see myself doing this. You hike up above the falls, and are exhausted cuz you're NOT AS YOUNG AS YOU USED TO BE...so you make a fatigued decision to take a shortcut back across the river, cuz you crossed bigger rivers WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER. Add a little flash flooding... as always: stay active, but be careful.
