How tall building should be?

For certain death?

The most important factor in suicide by jumping is height. Stone2 states that jumping from 150 feet (46 metres) or higher on land, and 250 feet (76 metres) or more on water, is 95% to 98% fatal. 150 feet/46 metres, equates to roughly 10 to 15 stories in a building, depending on the height of one story. 250 feet is the height of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

Even if you are jumping from the top floor, I wouldn't recommend it.

It's too low, and if you land on your lower half, you'll most likely end up disabled or paralyzed.

To be sure.. you would need to hit terminal velocity uaing an average persons weight it would be around 450m..

I guess you are right, there are no high buildings in my city, I guess train is my only option then.

I'd highly advise against it. You'd have to be extremely lucky/skilled to land on your head and die, otherwise it's more likely you'll end up either in extreme pain before dying or you'd be found and saved so.. Considering the snow on the ground too I suppose that'd make the fall a bit less fatal than going straight into concrete
