Neeahhhh that's all too high for me.  *I said high* *sobs*
I can't think properly at the moment, just saw Ben on big screen again.
Yes, he had to consider it, but still, may I remember that Sherlock chosed to 'commit suicide' first? Another possibility was not to meet with Moriarty and prove the world otherwise that he wasn't a fraud without putting his friend's and his own life into danger. And then get rid of Moriarty.

I can't help but feel as if the fact that Moriarty wrote IOU on the apple is important. 
Since he is into the whole "fairytale" thing, I was thinking that perhaps it relates to Snow White in some way.
Completely far-fetched?

However, the possibility that there's another fairytale involved is not too far-fetched in my opinion.

Fellow Sherlockians, look what I found!!!!! The theories presented about IOU are entirely plausible. It's amazing!

I've had a glimpse on it. To be frank, that's just people having too much freetime and therefore starting to theorise (without all the facts). Imagine Sherlock explaining all this to John. Once again a theory that's too far-fetched for me. Why would Moriarty give Sherlock so many clues? I nice read, though. 
You can spot a certain reference to all the fairy tales actually.

However, my father is convinced that Sherlock used a rescue net and the people we see gathering around him were the ones to prepare the net. I must say, I don't like the thought. ("No, no, nooo, that's too easy, that's too easy!")

My theory is that Sherlock's cheekbones broke his fall and it's the pavement that's bleeding.
 

My father and I just made up another incredibly plausible theory. Sherlock told Molly that he needed her, right? Maybe she just stood there, caught him in her arms and carried him away.

First of all- what about the body on the ground? Assuming it was indeed Sherlock, of course.
Secondly- wasn't it a five story building? It would hurt Molly if Sherlock fell into her arms from that distance. She would break some bones at least.

Oh, would she?  Maybe that's not the solution then... what a pity

*Sorry, apparently you took this serious, but I was just joking

But Sherlock himself pointed out she had put on 3 pounds. All he had to do is land on her and bounce back up....ahem....cough....cough x

Yeah, maybe he was using her as jumping sheet. Or she had used a drug that gave her superior strenghts.
 

The only problem that I have with the net theory, is the fact that we actually do see him land on the pavement.

Do we? Or is it just a vision of what John believes he sees; what his mind does to fill in the parts he couldn't see? Was it really Sherlock we see land on the pavement?
 

Well, I suppose that could be the case but then that's kind of cheating. Sherlock's face when he's on the ground and there's the blood and stuff, then that could also be simply what John expects to see.
In all honesty, I don't think that's the case

Yeah, there's also no actual wound anywhere on his head, there's just "blood". Grrrrrr, everthing I come up with seems to point to a dead end. And the clues that I've managed to pick up on, I have no idea what they mean! (if they mean anything)

Random.
Certainly not posion.
