Sure, that is a common idiom. Usually as stated implying that people shouldn't or wont, jump off the cliff. 'People must be smarter, right?'.
And we would like to think that is logical, and people wouldn't jump off a cliff.
Sadly, it seems like it is more true, people DO jump off the cliff, follow the illogical leader and jump.
It seems to me more and more that it is human nature to follow the leader off the cliff.
Maybe something to do with being social animals, following the herd.
