Discussion Jumping into a river from a bridge

[Reishi]

Anyone know anything specifically about how fast death would be if someone did jump off high up bridge into a river?

From high enough you gain more speed and the water becomes very hard. So I'd say from the right height you could die on impact but people usually get knocked out/injured from the fall and then drown as a result, or because of current or exhaustion and drowning isn't a really pleasant way to die if you're conscious. Hypothermia is also common cause of death in this scenario I'm pretty sure

So depends on the height, how you fall, etc

250+ feet should be like hitting concrete, if you land on your head, your neck will break instantly
