      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.
