I do not need spam links, thank you.

Why are you trying to talk to a spambot? They don't give any fuck whatsoever. And I will not be nice about them either.
A headcanon that makes a disturbing amount of sense. Leaders have always used scare tactics to encourage their people to follow the rules.
Poor Zipp.
Haven's reasoning isn't as outlandish as you originally think it will be, which is the saddest part about this.
Interesting world building.
I enjoyed the story this was inspired by as well, so it's only fair I applaud you both.
I can't help but wonder if Zipp's aeronautics research might have had a similar stabilizing effect with a lower fatality rate.
Interesting, and excellently written, but it wouldn’t fit into the canon storyline.
They would have looked at the royals fly
…
Oh.
This is from a AU where the royals DIDN’T pretend that they could still fly.
I wonder if preventing something like this was why the royals started the lie?
It is still an amazing contrast between ruling by hope and ruling by making examples of ponies.

Well, I suppose Queen Haven's justification that "We have a duty to protect our citizens" could be open to interpretation. Especially given that in the event of a unicorn invasion, three pegasi capable of flight (none of whom have any sort of combat training) aren't going to make that much of a difference.
Zipp...
...I'm sorry, sis. Do you need a hug?
It was a good read. The sad part is that Heaven is probably righ to allow this given the circumstances
Hm. Not really sure... Depends on how strong is that flight instinct... But a lower drop, one that does NOT kill the pegasus would work probably better. That AND a THOROUGH safety class from kindergarten about how one should just try from lower height. But I can see as this is the most cost effective way to do it.
I... wonder if a safety net for the official event might still preserve the deterrent effect? Or even a public "park" or two dedicated to such safe high-jumps. Maybe even make making such a jump a standard part of PE classes.
1 in 100 suicide rate, even with this extreme measure... OUCH!
