70 meters is a fair height. For comparison, Google says that the Golden Gate bridge have a similar height. Still, people have survived falls from 1000 meters and even higher depending of how they landed. Only landing head-first would make sure that death is instantaneous or near instantaneous, and it may be hard to control how you land. To be fair, a fall from such height, no matter how you land, is likely to make you pass out, so you wouldn't feel the pain of drowning, but I don't recommend this method.
