Small child push man over balcony, possible?

“Pushing” her father over would be tough, though not impossible. But most balconies have a railing too high to allow a man to fall over it too easily. I’m 6’4". My 11 year old son is 5’ 1", and quite strong. But if he shoved me while I was overlooking a normal balcony rail, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t go over the rail- I’d just bang into it.

On the other hand, little kids (and dogs) can definitely trip a much larger man. My son and my dog have done it to me many times. Even then, if a dog tripped me on a balcony, I probably wouldn’t go over the rail. I’d probably fall down on the balcony floor.

Well if the parents are having a spat, maybe he sits on the rail to light one up in an attempt to cool off. With one leg off the deck, the child sweeps the other and over he goes.
