For Those Who Live/Been In Austin Texas Is Jumping Off Mount Bonnell Reliable?

[Deadgirl]

I have read that the elevation is 700 ft. The cliff aka Antoinette's Leap is around 150-250 ft. If I jump will that for sure kill me? Extra Info: There has been multiple deaths at mount Bonnell.

People have survived jumping off the golden gate bridge. The higher the spot, the lower the survival chances. I wouldnt jump at less than 300 feet.

If you can find a higher cliff and also make sure that it is solid ground below, then it may be better than the 150-250 feet cliff. While it is still very likely that you will die from such a fall, you won't want to fail and end up as a vegetable or die shortly from injuries (which will be a very, very painful way to go).

I'm also interested in jumping spots around ATX. Any recommendations for trails that I can explore for good jumping spots?

I wouldn't jump at more than 3.

700 feet is impossible to survive. The highest I've heard of surviving is a guy in NYC who survived from 39 stories, which is 400-500 feet, depending on how high each floor in the building was.

I know that some skydivers have survived, but my suspicion is that their parachutes maybe half worked even if they didn't realize it.

damn. i guess i have a high chance of survival if i try that cliff. unless i really aim to land on like a rock spike or something
