i have a personal policy of not getting closer to a ledge than my own height, so if i trip and fall over i'll at worst end up with my head over the ledge.

[–] Glitterbomb@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm tall and I have the same policy with railings less than half my height. I could just seesaw right over it

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Being tall in a country of short people means sooooo many short railings, fucking hell

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I rock climb and work at height. My policy is to stay attached to something as much as possible. And if I can't do that - be very careful and aware of the edge.

unless your taekwando training kicks in and you automatically roll

Saw a karate student fall off their bike in front of the class a long time ago, their front wheel hit something or locked up, bike flipped forward, they did a forward roll perfectly and had no idea they did it until the class watching from inside told them.

I mean... does that mean there's a chance if I fall I'll get a 6' tall marble monument? That sounds so much easier than being crazy popular or succesful. Or is it just, the first per cliff, so I'd need to find a new less obvious cliff at the same park.

i think it's probably a famous person who died to that cliff, so you still have to start off being famous. also most cliffs have already been discovered and people have died at them, so you need to build a new one and that costs a lot of money, and only then can they build a monument to your stupidity.

Only if they haven’t yet procreated.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

They probably have. Which, incidentally, is also Darwinism

I mean a fence is pretty much closed.

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 5 points 1 week ago

Well that's it then, people want to pose with the marble monument for a picture.
