Caution Falling Ice

Why is it that companies place yellow caution cones along the side of tall buildings during the winter ?

These cones read "caution falling ice". The naturaul reaction is to look up and ensure you are safe from these eminent decending frozen spikes of water.

But if you look up, you are apt to fall off the curb, get hit by a car, or trip over the cone that warned you in the first place.

Is a company really absolving itself from liability incurred by natural occurances? Dispense with the cones, allow people to walk freely and with more room...

Reminds me of the Five Man Electrical Band.
