Damn, looks like higher than the recommended 150 feet, too.

Thanks, I feel better better about my nitrogen tank now.
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.

Looks like 15 stories up (count the floors), and I didn't see any bracing for impact.

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.

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.

Yes but its one of the deadliest method.

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.

Yes but it is highly unlikely. Im sure you could even survive somehow a deadly poison.

Could it be that this video is actually a mix and match of two different videos?

They remove that quickly. But it looked a bit fake. But maybe it was real, but i doubt it.
You'd be surprised they have a lot of crazy shit on news channels out in Israel or Eastern European countries.

I would like to watch the twitter video if someone has a mirror.
I've heard about someone that jumped out of a plane and the parachute did not open. The person ended up surviving and even when landing on solid dirt ground. I think jumping has the risk of flukes but must be incredibly rare.

That's actually what I suspected. Both real, just two different incidents.

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.

In my world it's pretty clear that not every jumper can control how they land. On the way down isn't a great time to find out it's harder than it looks.

Right. I think the fall was from one video, and the aftermath footage was of a different person.

But whatever the fuck happened to that person was pretty clearly not what he had in mind.

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? Similar to falling from an aircraft. I don't think gravity cares if you fall through glass or from an aircraft. Btw I'm just generally curious what I could be missing here.

Because the glass slowed her down before she hit the ground. It meant she hit the ground at a much slower, survivable speed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So reading your response which is kind of aggressive for how the discussion went about.. I assumed something must be the reason why you think I don't understand basic physics and so I rewatched the original posted video. I see she is hitting glass now right before the impact of the cement. I didn't originally notice that and thought the fall took place by leaning on a window because I didn't notice the glass break before she hits the ground. I've heard of people breaking through glass windows by leaning on them and falling before this thread and so I also assumed that was what happened. BTW, no need to jump to the conclusion that I don't understand basic level physics and when the discussion from my point of view wasn't very clear on hitting glass midway through the fall or right before impact of the ground. I still don't understand what is special about falling out of an airplane though.

Yes, in that case, you'd have saved everyone some aggravation if you'd watched the video, instead of assuming something different happened. Whatever, something to consider in the future.
