Help jumping from 10 story

[hajnalka]

how likely is it that someone jumping from the roof of a 10 story building, landing on concrete without anything breaking the fall - dies instantly and without pain? i can't seem to find any even higher places in my city :((

Quite likely. Especially if you don't land feet first.

If you're falling from 10 stories, then you'll have reached terminal velocity by the time you hit the ground. You have an above 90% chance of dying from a terminal velocity fall. Especially if you hit head first, you'll die instantly.

question…this might be dumb

But like on gore sites when it shows someone falling like the person is recognizable still. Would jumping from this height and landing on your head like make you not recognizable at all?

Who knows, can't predict.

Remember the woman that survived thousand of feet when her husband tried to kill her by messing with her parachute? Which worked, but fortunately didn't kill her, she had a lot of broken bones though, and was in a body brace for quite some time.

I know of someone that jumped very high, and now they are severely disabled, and in constant pain. Was in a vegetative state for quite a while, but luckily not anymore. A few people survived jumping off that particular bridge, and the doctors didn't think this person would, because they'd never seen it, but did they did.

I used to consider jumping until then. I saw this person in hospital after it happened, and it's put me off for life, because you really don't know what the outcome could be.

You could be worse off, and then you'll never be able to end your life.

Not trying to put you off, I'm merely stating what could happen.

Depends how many feet.

300+ feet is known to be 100% guaranteed. Despite what nonsense people say, there is not one single case of a human survive a fall this high onto concrete.

Personally from observation and knowing people, the way you jump and the surface at the end of the jump are more important than the height. E.g. jumping head first on concrete
