    The drop from a second-story balcony is unlikely to produce injuries beyond a bruise anyway.

      Ok, go and jump out of a second story window on to hard concrete and get back to us.

        Second story is easily handled by someone in good physical shape but it’s super easy to fuck it up and break a bone or twist something.

        That said, my 35 year old uncle literally lost his balance standing on flat ground, hit his head, and died within a couple minutes. Just like drowning in six inches of water, a fall from any height can be fatal if you fuck it up badly enough.

          Or, you know, if you don’t have control of all the variables in a situation.

            Which is typically what happens when someone falls.

        I have on, a few occasions. Once, I twisted my ankle.
