As the saying goes, when someone claims they've made something idiot-proof, it is my responsibility to devise a better idiot.
Idiots are naturally self improving. They don't need your help!

He's not just any moron. The brightest minds of a generation worked together specifically to create the dumbest being alive...
"We're morons, but we're unionized!" Moe "Three Stooges" Howard.
to claim something is indestructible is to call on others to prove it isn't. I now say nearly indestructible because then they know it must have been broken before and don't try to do it again... usually
Is one of the many flags that exist... Like telling someone that you are going to marry after the war or have a couple of days until you can retire
Well, ponies DO generally have "cartoon character" levels of durability.
As in, a Pegasus gets very surprised and *pop* out comes the wings, ready to glide until they figure out what's going on.
And at some point some wires got crossed, as they often do with these things if humans are anything to judge by, and sexual arousal became a trigger as well. Though in Humans, it's usually the other way around; other things trigger the arousal inappropriately, the arousal doesn't trigger as many unintentional reflexes.
Because apparently Earth ponies can have unicorn and pegasi kids, so why not the other way around too?
Better be real careful with the kid (and you better actually check for wings/horns before putting them down)
My headcanon is that a pegasus mare bearing a non-pegasus foal will have a near-irresistible urge to be on the ground toward the end of gestation.
Don't forget: Visitors that forget that the city isn't built on a single, uninterrupted, surface. It has holes and since walking into one of them is just embarrassing to a pegasus they don't have guardrails.
Just like Star Wars? How many fight scenes are there in places that would never get OSHA certification?
Of course, now I want to have my players' next battle in a location where they have to be careful of safety rails and guide ropes...

Return to Castle Wolfenstein still gets the big win on the "unsafe ladders and catwalks" front:
About halfway though the game you can find a memo regarding the dangers of open ladders and exposed ledges. After that point, almost all modern structures you go through have guardrails and safety cages.

I think I figured out how Equestria manages to be such a nice place overall despite the abundance of things that will kill and/or eat and/or do something worse to you.
"Man, that Gary is such a jerk..."
"Yeah... hey, isn't that him walking by the big open pit?"
"Hmm.. so it is. Should we warn him about it?"
"Nah, I'm good."

On the plus side:
The empire finally built a fucking guardrail

I can agree to that point my world literally has floating islands that are suspended by magic. this is in a system where an anti-magic field is a thing. if one were to do that to one of the larger ones the impact would be like a large meteor. so yeah unsafe world check
I recently read a review of the World Tree RPG, which sounds quite interesting but exceedingly dangerous... everyone lives on the branches of a giant tree.
Well, the thing to realize is that said branches are SEVERAL MILES across.
Putting it another way - do you worry about accidentally setting foot on the local interstate? You know where it is, right? Just over thataway a bit?

Reminds me of Kelethin back in the early days of Everquest. Good old Elven city in the trees, connected by, more or less, plank bridges. With no hand rails or anything else to keep anyone from falling off.
When approaching the city, you knew you were there when there was a large pile of dead bodies strewn across the area. A pile that was added to buy silly people who tried to race around Kelethin. Drunk. In a game where being drunk messed with the UI and made you literally weave back and forth as you walked.
Man, I miss those days.

DM or Any Fantasy World Designer: "Add it to the pile."
