Avoid living next to dilapidated highrises

Alice's life was roadblocked by things falling on top of her head. When she was nine years old, she got hit by an icicle on her way to school. It had fallen off the rooftop of a five-storied building and gave Alice a horrible cut, a concussion, and a lifelong insterest in ice. She went on to become a nuclear physicist. Within a week of her graduation from univresity, she got assailed by a cigarette falling from the third floor balcony still lit. Her hair got badly singed in the back, but in the perpetrator she found the man who would eventually become her partner. They never married, but lived together for more than 47 years, when a flowerpot falling from the second floor window brought Alice's life to traumatic conclusion.
