Thanks for the advice re: balconies and chairs and being able to climb over - I hadn't thought of that. Ahh! So many things to consider. But that's exactly why I asked, because I wanted to make sure I was thinking of other possibilities that hadn't entered my headspace as yet.

No, Kellie, I will definitely not leave my child out there unattended - especially now that I have realised the danger!! Eeek!

This is also helpful because my parents (and everyone else I personally know) had a house to raise their children in, so never had to consider these things.
