English term or phrase: knock you over the edge
We were all strangers in the Himalayas together, united by a single goal.

I have often wondered how strangers can get along so well. Our backgrounds, country of origin, culture even, were all so different. Yet we enjoyed the most heartwarming, intimate and mutually supportive two weeks together.

Dawa, our lead guide and sherpa, needed to know at all times how we were feeling and how our bodies were reacting to the altitude and diet.
Consequently, all intimate details were shared.

“If you see yaks coming towards you, stick to the inside of the path. They sometimes wobble and might ** knock you over the edge **” said one guide.
We didn’t challenge his advice.

spingervi/farvi finire oltre il bordo (del sentiero)


Explanation:
"Se vedete degli yak che vengono verso di voi, cercate di rimanere all'interno del sentiero, perché a volte hanno un'andatura barcollante e potrebbero spingervi/farvi finire oltre il bordo".
