In my high school we had a balcony which we used for lighting on the side of the balcony architecture. It was high up enough to at the very least seriously maim someone if they were to fall if not a full on death blow from the seats below like jagged rocks at the bottom of a cliff. I remember one time we did not have a harness available to us so one of my classmates decided to climb up on the balcony architecture without any kind of safety equipment in place in case she falls off. It was incredibly terrifying to me as I was nearby at the time. It was just high up enough for you to be able to realize you have fallen before you break every bone in your body through the fall which is one of the most terrifying aspects of the potential fall that might happen.
