Jacob sees the general direction of the excited pointing, looking over to understand what Hector wants of him- and then he sees it, just as Hector explains it. There's the balcony, meant to put some toff right into the action, and the one lonely supporting pillar.
It would come down so very easily. Would it kill a rhino? Probably not but that's not the aim. It woukd certainly stop the rider from chasing them any more.
And more importantly, they'd be safe inside the backstage area.
"Hector, you're a very smart man aren't you?" He replies, and starts to get their rhino moving in that direction. Not an easy feat, at the speed they're going, and the other rhino is right behind them. Which is where they need them to be, but it isn't fun.
Do horse commands work on rhinos? Jacob's pretty sure the answer is no, but in the heat of the moment he's trying anyway, doing all he can to move their mount in the right direction at speed, and then jeep in that trajectory.
"Watch yourself!" Is all he can shout as the beam supporting the balcony gets closer and closer, and suddenly they're crashing into it, and then through into the darkness beyond the animal gate.
