The consensus in our gaming group is that if a party member has the ability to
fly, is wearing a fill-in-the-blank of flying, or if there is any concievable
way to get across, (tightrope, leaping from rock to rock, swinging on a rope)
the creature will unconsiously (sp?) do the actions. Meanwhile, the 
creature will be blissfully unaware they are doing anything but walking
across a bridge. If there is no way, save vs. dex or plummet.
