I'd say that she is lucky the branches of the tree broke her fall and she suffered only minor injuries in the process.

I agree, while humans can technically due from any height given that it breaks the right parts, five stories is highly unlikely.

I do kind of feel bad that her attempt is in the news though, I would hate to have my attempts in the news, especially if it failed.

The amount of judgments that people make from reading failed attempts makes me mad sometimes. I also wouldn't want people I know to find out by the news, they might start to treat me differently or worse.

I am glad she doesn't have major injuries. I wouldn't say lucky because she is still suffering.

The decision to ctb doesn't seem planned to me. I hope she can resolve issues regarding her son
