Discussion
May be "falling when tilting" then?
The specification generally uses Fallen as the plural of Fall e.g. "2x Fallen auf jede Fläche" and a heading "Frei Fallen / Kippfallen / Umstürzen.
The spec was written by a company located in south-west Germany. Is this a regional variation peculiar to B-W?
