I spend more time than I like at the local assisted living facility. 2 elderly people have died this year from falls on level ground. Hit their heads, brain bleeds, death within about 30 days.
Like trying to climb into the bed of a new pickup truck.
The funny part is.....your brain actually thinks you can make it....it's good when common sense prevails and you crawl down.
The old "brain writing checks that your body can't cash" syndrome.
I'm not athletic but still I used to cross a barb wire fence of 42" or so by grabbing a post and catapulting over the wire. I cannot even crawl thru one now, and if I try to roll under, I cannot get up easily. I picked up a strand of rope under my mower and had to get down on my belly to unwind it and get it out from around the hub of the blade. Then the issue was how to get back up...
One of those "seemed like a good idea at the time" design flaws. Most in this area have been un-sunken, owner framed up the floor and brought it up to the level of the rest of the home.
