Help Body control during jumping?

[suicidestyle]

Is this possible? If you fall backwards while sitting, from a 5 storey tower or building, will it be possible to land heads first? What impacts this? Wind and weather that day? Clothes that are being worn?

You would need to control it. Physically. Like a diver.

Like, with just physical strength? What are the physics behind jumping? Do you flip around or something?

Well idk because I don't think I could pull this off. Just jumping would be tough and this would be with some intent. Idk probably like diving into a pool is what I mean, but that's not going to be easy, plus you're at a low height. But you're desperate and I certainly understand that.

Hypothetically, if i wore more layers, and carried something heavy, would it keep me the way I want?

Skydivers, base jumpers for example know how to control their body during the free fall. So it's possible, but you need lots of training and experience.

I doubt that anyone else can really control their body during a jump from a building.

You're not falling that far so I don't think layers or wind are going to affect much. I'm not sure I can help more here.
But I understand how you feel. I keep searching for some magic answer to getting this done and there just isn't one.

Maybe I can look at head down skydiving tutorials so I have an idea of how to posture myself?

Thinking of this...wouldn't that mean my body wouldn't change much? Since it's a decently quick fall there wouldn't be enough time for my body to fling around either, would there?

Sorry for asking you, since it seems like you're unsure about the physics of this method....but really, I do appreciate the few advice you have given me so far.

I would rethink falling from 5 stories. While it's high enough that it can kill you, if it doesn't you will be left with a far worse state of being. You also should not wear extra layers, this will soften any blow and you need as much initial trauma upon impact the lower the height

Watch some action movies where stuntmen fall. They initiate the jump slowly, so as not to induce momentum, which would definitely hinder any control you might have. But, they have lots of training, too, and they fall onto airbags. Not sure how you could train for a one-time jump, though.
