Answer

Are older apartment buildings in Mallorca more vulnerable to accident risks?

Older apartment buildings can sometimes have low parapets, narrow roof access or open internal courtyards that are not ideal in emergencies. In Mallorca, these features matter because a fast-moving situation can become dangerous very quickly if someone tries to flee or climb across a roof area.
