Well he couldn’t have fallen far.
He could have if he fell over an upper floor railing down into a room on the lower floor. Some friends had a house where you could easily do that. In fact it would (barely) be possible in my little two story garden home, that I had in San Antonio. You could fall out of the loft bedroom into the living room. (But you'd have to work at it, the opening to the living room was about 3 feet above the floor of the room, maybe a bit less.)
