If a person falls a cliff and there isn't anyone around to see it, How do we know someone fell?

1. There wasn't any other footprints on the cliff so he/she wasn't pushed.\n2. The cell phone in his/her hand has a partial text message..."Sh**".\n3. They are still down there proclaiming loudly that they can't get up.

hmmm, good question....\n\nMaybe because it seems to be in a constant state of falling.

You met his family and friends. So you know who they are.\nAsk them if they have heard from him.\nTell them you are a big girl and can take it if he decided you are not the one for him, but you need to know if he is hurt or missing.\nThey most likely know something. \nIf not they need to be filling out a missing persons report.

The only way to know is to call the police.  Its NOT a 911 call, but do call them.  They'll have the bone checked to see if its human.\n\nIf it is, they're the experts, they'll check out the whole area, and probably start digging, too.

First, you make sure that they are really and truly dead and not just unconscious or in some sort of coma.\n\nThen you drag the body to an open area or to an area where there is some sort of natural formation that you can easily recognize again or that can be easily located by rangers or anyone familiar with the area.  \n\nNext,  you make a barrier around the body with rocks, and you cover the body with medium size rocks so animals don't scavenge their remains.  You don't want to be the one explaining to the authorities why all they ever found was your friends left foot and belt buckle three miles from where you said this all happened.  \n\nBurying your friend is a bad idea, as you won't be able to bury them deep enough using only your hands or small tools to prevent animals from digging them up before you can get back with the authorities.  It's probably legal, but it really isn't a very bright idea.\n\nCarrying your friend back would be next to impossible, as dead weight is much harder to carry than a live person.  And if you have to travel back for so long that rigor would begin to set in, it would be absolutely impossible.  A noble gesture in thought, but next to impossible in reality.  Unless your dead friend is a very light dwarf,  this simply isn't going to happen.\n\nThen you turn back and go get help.

Um, the niece did it because otherwise how did she know that her aunt fell down the stairs???

Honestly, she will not listen to you if you tell her she's going down. The only way she can see her mistake is by hitting bottom. If you truely care about her, you will stay her friend even though it will be hard for you to watch her fall apart. When she hits bottom she will need someone who cares about the real her, to help her get back on her feet. If she hits bottom and she is friendless she may never come back up. I hope you can be there for this poor girl. I hope for the best for you. I'm sorry about your situation. Good luck. :^)

Not looking down is a good idea but not always possible. Make sure you get the person running the abseil to talk through all the safety equipment with you, that helps for confidence. Remember, if you haven't abseiled before that it is essentially walking down the wall/rock-face backwards. With that in mind remember to put your feet flat on the wall as if you are standing on the walk. I if you don't you will just hang off the rope and it not very easy. Finally remember what Woody Allen said "Its not the heights I'm scared of, its the floor!". Good luck

Why would you advise anyone to jump off a short cliff? seems kinda pointless, doesnt it? In answer to your question, go to the manufactures website and try to find the instruction manual.

Where would you fall to?  Falling is the result of the gravity of a large object pulling you.  The bigger the object the more the gravity.  The Earth is large, so if you climb out under an overhanging cliff and turn loose you fall down to the big thing, which in this case is the Earth.  If the Earth were flat and you walked to the edge, you wouldn't fall off.  You'd just be able to sort of "balance" on the edge until you stepped to the other side (or back to the side you were on originally).  Due to the force of gravity, most heavenly bodies are round or eventually become so over time.

Make a good noose, and slip it around your neck. That way if you fall, you will not worry about it long.

Quickly write down a description of the people .. yell out to call attention to the situation .. and call the cops.. you never know they might catch tme later , and the slimess chance they might get it back.. other than that they may catch them so someone else doesnt get something stolen.

The point of the riddle is that perception controls reality, because nothing is assured until we perceive it. It should be modified to say, "If a tree falls in the forest and there are no people or recording devices present, can you have any clue as to the sound it made?" It is an answerless riddle by definition.

Scientists have been dealing with the problem of natural tree falls (and the sound they make--or don't make) for quite some time and have drawn some rather surprising conclusions. \n\nIf a tree falls and there is a person around the sound is easily recognized. \n\nIf a tree falls in the forest and there is nobody nearby, the sound that it makes is very different and often not recognized as the sound of a tree falling. \n\nEither way, there is a sound.\n\nEven though plants do not show any changes to the naked (or lensed) eye, when a human is in their presence systemic biological changes have been discovered that have grave effects on plant life when a person is within 300 meters. This effect is called "human stress syndrome".\n\nApparently, when a tree is about to fall, if it senses a human nearby the biological stresses of human presence cause the cell walls in the plant to become brittle and it is the cell brittleness responsible for the familiar sound we know as that of a tree fall. The cell brittleness also has significant effects to the quality of the lumber, making it much more suitable for use in construction (see below).\n\nThrough the miracle of recording tape, we are able to provide a sound recording of an actual tree falling without human presence. \n\nCLICK HERE: http://www.getodd.com/stuf/treesound1.wa... to hear what a tree falling in the forest when there is nobody around to hear it sounds like.

You see someone. You dont know whether they exist kick them in the groin and VOILA!You would have to do this to everyone whose existence you want to verify. But dont stay waiting for their thanks for proving their existence run like the wind and prove someone else's existence.

I guess calling your local 911 would work, even if you don't know where the person lives.  The local police could probably find out a lot faster than anyone else.\n\nAnother thought would be to attempt to find out the location from the person having the heart attack, when he lets you know it's happening.\n\nIf all else fails, the administrator of the chatroom you are in could find out -- but it might take to long to get in touch with him.\n\nI hope this hasn't happened, and never does.
