cliffs are good things to fall off of
Can he ride his horse near a cliff, and a rock falls and hits him on the head?
Yeah, pro'lly sounds too improbable.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
To me, it seems like the difficulty is getting the guy off the horse in the first place. Once he's been thrown, voila, broken neck, dead. Getting the horse to throw him while moving relatively slowly seems to be the tricky part.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Like how action heroes have artistic cuts through eyebrows
Those are really easy to get, though, for the record. I know lots of real people (martial artists and not) who had them. It's a bonus that they're hot.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
He could ride the horse off the cliff!
...but then Susan would have to come with a reason why he would do that.
It could be Evel Knievel's many-generations ancestor!!
...maybe not.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Like how action heroes have artistic cuts through eyebrows, but never have, like, half a nostril sheared off or four broken fingernails and a broken cheekbone.
I'm mentally CGIing those in now, because it's a funny mental image.
News from CBB:
Jennifer Garner has reportedly invited Victor Garber, her Alias TV dad, to be present in the delivery room as a backup Lamaze coach when she gives birth. According to an insider, Ben does not do very well in hospitals.

Can the horse stumble on some rocks and break its leg?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Susan has probably run off to join the circus by this point anyway.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
A guy I taught with was leaving a bar with a friend and some drunk guy bumped into them, threw one punch at the friend andknocked him down. His skull shattered when he hit the sidewalk and he died instantly.

Can the horse fall into (or get caught by) a trap, set by a trapper? Then it stumbles?

Oh, I'm sure. But, when you are picked up and thrown by the force of a nearby explosion, isn't it just as likely that you end up with, like, broken fingers and a chin-scrape and burned ears? A separated shoulder from landing funny? Random bizarro bruises all over from whatever you happen to clooide with while in air?
But always, they go for the artistic eyebrow-cut.
There is some kind of plastic-surgery conspiracy going on.
