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.
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.
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’m tall and I have the same policy with railings less than half my height. I could just seesaw right over it
Being tall in a country of short people means sooooo many short railings, fucking hell

unless your taekwando training kicks in and you automatically roll
