Maybe it's just me, but when I'm standin right by the edge of a freaking long drop and want to take a look over the edge, well I crouch down before gazing over rather than remaining all stood up, in an ideal position to trip and fall to my premature (by squishing) death.
It would have been fun if, when she eventually step over and the floor remade itself, that they shown us a big puddle of "water", cos if I'd been there I'd have tinkled over the edge and I can bet she'da done that too and it that ain't just a rugged man thing.
