NORTH FORT MYERS, Florida (AP) -- A woman fell to her death while trying to do a handstand on the railing of a second-floor hotel balcony, sheriff's officials said.
Molly Jerman, 23, of Cape Coral died Sunday. While attempting a handstand, she toppled over and dropped to the hotel patio, according to the Lee County sheriff's department.
Just before she fell, she had called out to a friend, "Watch to see what I can still do," a police report said. Foul play is not believed to be involved, officials said.

I'm surprised that killed her. Second story isn't that high. She must have landed just right. Or wrong.
Well, she was doing a handstand, so it is a good possibility she hit head first.

I wouldn't think so. If you are doing a handstand and you topple over, you are going feet first. It would be weird that she just fell straight down onto her head.

It all depends on where the trauma is. Here in Boise a few years ago there was a woman that fell four stories and all she suffered was a broken hip.
Also, recall that both Christopher Reeve and Tommy Lee Jones got trampled by a horse, yet only one of them ended up paralyzed.

I don't believe you, perhaps a computer simulation is in order?
