Unicorns also seem prone to almost falling to their doom

Twilight Sparkle falls off a cliff in Friendship is Magic Part 2, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy catch her. She jumps in Feeling Pinkie Keen and nearly falls to her doom again but a bubble cushions her from the fall. In the very next episode, Rarity has her Icarus moment, averted by Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom (although she does share this with three pegasi, none of them are in the Mane 6). And in Secret of My Excess, Rarity and Spike, in the exact words of the EoH book, "almost plummet to their deaths", but Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy save them.

Ironic in that a unicorn (presumably) successfully brings it about on a villain inspired in part by two villains who have killed unicorns. If Chrysalis did fall to her doom comics aside, this is the ultimate role reversal with unicorns.
