[WiZ] And they say chivalry is dead

[WiZ]

A man kicks a woman off the ledge of a tall building. He is later extravagantly praised for doing so. Why?

True story. Caveat earlispoilor. OAATP rules apply.

Did he save the woman's life by doing so?

[WiZ]

Did he save the woman's life by doing so? yes

[GalFisk]

Is the ledge also tall?

[Sundowner64]

Was the ledge on the top floor of the building? (as opposed to the ledge of a basement window)

[WiZ]

GalFisk

Is the ledge also tall? yes

Sundowner

Was the ledge on the top floor of the building? yes (or at least one some distance from street level) (as opposed to the ledge of a basement window)

[GalFisk]

Does the kick make the woman fall? A long way?

[Sundowner64]

Did he push the woman into the building?

[WiZ]

GalFisk

Does the kick make the woman fall? yes A long way? no

Sundowner

Did he push the woman into the building? yes!

[doriana_]

Was the woman about to commit suicide? about to fall off the ledge accidentally?

[WiZ]

Was the woman about to commit suicide? yes

**** SPOILER ****

He was a firefighter who had been tasked with forcibly moving suicidal people down from their ledges, thus neutralising the threat in the moment.

Have a montage.

Congratulations, Doriana, on the solution, and thank you everyone for playing!
