I think Roman writers ( = genuine latin) already covered the subject:
Juvenal Satires:
ergo quid optandum foret ignorasse fateris
Seianum; nam qui nimios optabat honores
et nimias poscebat opes, numerosa parabat
excelsae turris tabulata, unde altior esset
casus et inpulsae praeceps inmane ruinae.
Horace:
pinus et
celsae graviore casu
decidunt turres feriuntque summos
fulgura montis.
Claudian, In Rufinum I.22
iniustos crevisse queror;
tolluntur in altum,
ut lapsu graviore ruant. vos pandite vati,
something like
Lapsu graviore ruunt altum in sublati.
