Twice, after tortuous effort, squirming and twisting, he failed in breasting the big trunk, and on the third attempt, after infinite exertion, he cleared it only to topple helplessly forward and fall on his face in the tangled undergrowth.
Человек дважды тщетно пытался, карабкаясь и извиваясь, переползти через огромный ствол и лишь после третьей попытки почти на исходе сил одолел его только для того, чтобы беспомощно свалиться в густой кустарник.

The leaning cylinder in Fig. 14 is bound to fall. If, on the other hand, the perpendicular from its centre of gravity fell through its base, it wouldn't topple over.
Поэтому наклонный цилиндр (рис, 14) должен непременно опрокинуться; но если бы он был настолько широк, что отвесная линия, проведенная из его центра тяжести, проходила бы в пределах его основания, цилиндр не опрокинулся бы.

The world around us stretched out beyond stone-framed openings, each possibly low enough to let an unwary tourist topple nine stories to the paved courtyard below.
Мир, скрытый до того каменными стенами, широко распахнулся во все стороны за каменными перилами, достаточно низкими, чтобы не помешать неосторожному туристу кувырнуться с высоты девятого этажа на брусчатку площади.
