How tall does a bridge need to be to kill you?

[Jisatsu_55265181910]

I am Getting kind of desperate here. I'm planning on jumping off a bridge approximately 200ft tall.
I was wondering if that is tall enough to kill me at any angle if I were to have enough confidence to jump off of it...
I'll preferably try to jump off head first in the hopes that my neck might snap once I make impact with the ground, but I'm worried that I might flip around, in the time that it takes me to hit the ground.
I'm not 100% sure how quickly I'll hit the ground, my weight is about 120 pounds, so not sure if that'll make me fall quicker either...

If anyone has advice on bridge jumping that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

They say at least 10 stories. Depends on a lot of factors though.

200ft is about 60 meters, that's pretty good. Ideally you want something like 100+ meters but if that's too hard to find, 60 meters should still give you a very good chance at CTBing.

Also not that it would make much difference, but yes the lighter you are the better. Not because you'll fall faster, but lighter people tend to be more fragile than heavier people.

Its hard to determine a definitive height. Even a fall from a 10ft ladder could kill while a fall from 100ft have resulted in survival. Typically depends on breaking the neck and blunt force trauma. Also If you fall belly flat compared to an arrow it will have a noticeable reduction in speed.

Gravity pulls you down at 32 feet/second (9.8 meters/second). At 200ft (61meters) it'll take about 3.5 seconds, reaching around 77 mph (124 kph) before impact. Imagine hitting concrete at that speed. While not 100% chance its still very likely.

Just curious but does anyone know if all bridges are over water, or are there some over land? Because the ones over land if high enough would be more likely to be fatal I would assume?

if you are high enough, it doesn't really matter if it's over water or over land. the force of hitting the water and breaking the surface tension will be the same as hitting concrete. Google says at about ~100m or 300 ft.
