Method Are 21m (70 ft) high enough?

[LostMyWill]

Let's say you have access to at least a 7 store residential building and don't give a shit how people will react when they find a smashed corpse. Will a 21m fall suffice to ensure death or will I just fail and become a vegetable?

Is it an unobstructed fall onto concrete? If so the chances of survival are low, but still significant enough in my opinion.

I wouldn't risk it to be honest.

yeah I've gotta echo the others here. not worth the risk, I wouldn't think.

Is it a rectangular building or some weird postmodern? This is important because your first point of contact may not be with the ground. If you land on a car or snow it might save you. The angle at which you hit the ground is also important.

A guy in NYC survived a 47 story fall. Some people survived falls from planes. You can't know for sure.

No its not.

It's an old rectangular building, and you fall right onto hard concrete. Let's say you also fall backside first to ensure that your spine is completely severed, and the impact on the back of your head would surely deliver the nail in the coffin (no pun intended). Given that I live in an already backwards third-world country, our medical "expertise" are highly unlikely to save me from this fatal blow. On top of it all, I almost have 0 body fat and I've already had a blood test a month ago which revealed calcium deficiency (and I still haven't changed my poor diet) so my bones would easily break (and there wouldn't be any "fat" to "cushion" the fall). I see this as a 100% certainty of death. Even if I end up a vegetable, I honestly couldn't care less, just let me sleep 24/7.

Probably not. Need higher to be sure.

 

[wunschtraum]

Not high enough

Another possibility is that you do die but it takes a few extremely painful hours. I would probably be too terrified to do it.
