Help Is this high enough to die reliably?

[Jessica5]

If you look at my writing i did say probably, as in life everything is a probability,

The odds of dying before you hit the ground in a jump are 0%. It's not the fall that kills you- it's the sudden stop at the bottom.

But ... it's not "probable" that anyone would die before hitting the bottom, unless maybe someone shot them directly in the brain stem as they began their dive. At that height it's not "probable" that they'll die when the hit the bottom. It's not impossible, but not especially likely.

well, do you came up with a solution about How Height is needed?.
Too high or too short.
You do not suffer by the guy, he said going to changing method.

And just a question, Why thomasdoyletad is crossed by a line, he has gone?. He was here yesterday.

I am planning to jump from a height of no more then 120ft into water soon as I get the chance (Hoping no later then next month), I hope it works, or I am screwed. I do think it depends how you land, aim for your head I have read more chance of a successful attempt

There's no mechanism of death. It's some stupid myth. People just don't want to believe they'll be alive and conscious while falling hundreds of feet.

You can only die in midair if you fall from about 100,000 feet. (Due to the low temperature and lack of oxygen at this altitude.) Any less than 100,000 feet, and you'll be alive until you hit the ground. Have you found a 100,000 foot spot to fall from? Yeah, I doubt it.
