brianthainess Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 There are only about 4 scenarios, he jumped, fell over the rail, was pushed, of the rail gave way. But I'm sure the RTP will come up with a fifth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_Money Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Years of visiting and now living here most of the year I can honestly say I’ve never come close to “falling” off a balcony. Despite enjoying a Bacardi coke or three while enjoying the view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
