He jumped from a low height and used his hands to brace himself for the impact, not to mention he did a belly flop. If the people here aren't dumb enough to do anything like that then everything will work out nicely. Jumping is one of the most lethal methods of suicide, just don't be a dumbass when you do it.
Something seems wrong here.
Damn, looks like higher than the recommended 150 feet, too.
Thanks, I feel better better about my nitrogen tank now.
Looks like 15 stories up (count the floors), and I didn't see any bracing for impact.
I guess this is an example of what people mean when they say there's no guarantee with jumping/falling from great heights, and that it's very hard to control your landing position.
I hope his SI is happy. Poor guy.
Well, theoretically you could depending how and where did you land. There was a Serbian flight attendant that survived a fall from 10000 meters with lots of broken bones but no severe permanent damage. Her fall was cushioned by snow, though.Jumping is still one of the most deadly Methods. Very few survivor of that height.
It seems fake.
Yes it seems fake, you cant survive such a fall with only a few broken bones.

Damn the videos been taken down
You'd be surprised they have a lot of crazy shit on news channels out in Israel or Eastern European countries.They remove that quickly. But it looked a bit fake. But maybe it was real, but i doubt it.
That's actually what I suspected. Both real, just two different incidents.Could it be that this video is actually a mix and match of two different videos?

Right. I think the fall was from one video, and the aftermath footage was of a different person.No way he survived that without all bones broken.
Aslong as you land on your head you are guaranteed to die. I have never seen or heard of anyone falling from a far height landing on their head and surviving. Ofcourse, you can control how you land.

This 6 year old fell 25 stories and survived with just a broken wrist.
She fell through glass, which probably slowed her fall.
She was inside the aircraft when she fell. That fall always seems overrated to me. I'm sure the aircraft absorbed most of her fall.
Can you explain to me your logic on how falling through glass factors into slowing a persons fall from a height?
How does the glass slow her down? She hopping off the building and when there is an open window is basically going to be the same result as if she fell through a window that broke from her weight. Similar if you walk off a building compared to walking onto glass that overhangs a building and that breaks from your weight.Because the glass slowed her down before she hit the ground. It meant she hit the ground at a much slower, survivable speed.

Well that's the issue I think you both have the wrong assumption from the physics I do understand. There shouldn't be any downward force that's being restricted when falling though a window that's on a wall. Similar if you walk off a building compared to falling through glass overhanging a building. I would imagine it's very difficult to add downward force in any situation when trying to commit suicide and other than just jumping from a higher spot that will result in more acceleration from gravity.I'm not a high school physics teacher, so I'm not going into deep detail on it, but basically, the force required to break the glass and fall through it is force that isn't used to hit the ground. It slows you down and results in a less forceful impact. Seems like something you should be able to find an article or science-y You Tube video or whatever to explain it in detail.

After reading your response here. I thought there had to be a misunderstanding after reading your aggressive tone and looking at what I wrote. I was writing my thoughts from falling through a window of a building "instead of jumping" out of an open window which I still think is equal starting points of downward force. Basically where the fall takes place.No offense, but that's clearly not much. Like I said, I'm not going to get deep into it, and you should look it up. I'd be shocked if you can't go online and find a physics explanation for why hitting tree branches, or falling through a glass canopy or anything else before impacting a hard surface results in a less forceful impact.
In the meantime, since you don't understand the physics involved, even at a basic level, I'd say it's wildly irresponsible to be suggesting what you're suggesting. Hitting a relatively soft surface, or a surface that breaks away before a hard one, like a glass canopy before hitting the ground *WILL* slow you down, *WILL* result in a less forceful impact and damn well can result in surviving with serious injuries instead of death.
