I had a box turtle that would throw itself off of a 6" ledge.

Repeatedly.

I'd say it's not worth the risk. He could drop straight through the bushes and hit the ground very hard, resulting in death or severe injuries.

By some small boards or plastic edging that you can use to block off the area and keep him from walking off the edge.
