Canadian worker 'lucky to be alive' after fall from Ambassador Bridge

A Canadian man in his 20s who was working on the Ambassador Bridge is said to be extremely lucky after falling almost 150 feet into the Detroit River. 'There’s no reason in the world this man’s alive,' Harbour Master Peter Barry told CTV News Windsor.

This worker fell almost 150 feet and he survived

I'm not sure if 'lucky' is the right word in this case.. he's probably a crippled person now

Not long ago I found out that the highest survived fall in history is over 30,000 feet

The human body is extremely durable

That must be so horrible, it terrifies me how suicide attempts can go wrong, I doubt that someone is really lucky if instead of finding the permanent escape from suffering that they were searching for, they are instead in a situation of much worse suffering.

I hate when the media (or anyone for that matter) says "They are so lucky to be alive!"

What's so great about being alive? Especially if you have resulting permanent physical and/or mental disabilities.

They act like just the mere act of breathing is some kind of prize.

I don't think he had major damage to his body

Article should say " Canadian worker very unlucky to have survived."

It's because he landed on water. May as well have jumped onto a marshmallow.

There's people who survived air plane falls

I wonder if the man feels lucky? I'm sure he isn't dancing around, I'm sure he's in severe pain and probably broken limbs and back. I think he has a very long road ahead of him!

hes fallen in Water thats why. needs around 200 feet to be fatal.

Overglorification of life has led to humans locking themselves in gilded cages - along with dragging in more prisoners via procreation. Humans involved in the media are brainwashing their own species into exalting existence.

The most compassionate action would be to provide painless euthanasia for those who sustain permanent physical and/or mental trauma and do not wish to continue. Unfortunately, euthanasia clashes not only against the sanction of life, but also the anthropogenic myths of infinite growth.
