Is her death tragic? Yes. Was it because of stupidity? Yes. Do I feel sorry for her? No, absolutely not.
I have to admit I’m chicken. The closest I’ll get to a long drop-off is the length of my body. If I trip and fall, there’s be no way I could go off the deep end.
I stay away further than that and approach at a flat angle. On tripping remember, an object in motion, stays in motion.
