falling off roofs / ledges

In reality, no one is going to walk off a roof because it doesn't have a fence or wall, so I think it would be a good idea that if you "walk" to the edge of a tile it stops you from falling off (like an invisible fence), however if you are running/holding shift, then you can fall off..

 

Exceptions should be your character is sick, tired or drunk/intoxicated, in which the safety feature should not work. Numerous times, people falling are because of keyboard/mouse controls or because they can't see if there is a wall due to the wall fading, and to be honest is not very realistic..... no one just walks off a ledge by accident.....

I kinda like the way Sleeping Dogs and some other games that I can't remember dealt with it - when character is walking (!) to the edge of the roof and the player is still pushing "forward", character just stops and looks down. So you can still jump off with the running character, but not walking.
