Is this high enough, or do I need to go higher?

[sibyl101]

What would be my chances? I don't want to survive this fall.

 

[Beelzebub]

Should be, but it depends how you fall and you also are gonna scar a lot of people afterwards doing that on the street. Its up to you

 

[voyager]

Straight on to one's head, almost certainly yes, other than that it could be anything. That's at most 20m, no? Just realised, for me to jump I wouldn't want to see the surface this clearly, must have some guts to do that.

 

[avaruus]

Probably fatal, but survivable. Personally, i wouldn't anything less than about double that building height.

 

[Mocon33]

That's a bit iffy, rule of thumb is 10 stories.

 

[WAITING TO DIE]

160 feet is the minimum recommended height while falling onto a hard surface.
Yet, people have died falling from the 4th floor but only if landing on the head.

I heard 4th floor is where you cross over from more likely to survive to more likely to die. But I think going under at least 8 is very risky.

wont say to keep your privacy but im pretty sure Ik where this is lol. Used to walk up that street to get to work everyday

 

[Blue Elephant]

I think that's about 20 meters as well and I agree with @avaruus, I don't think it's high enough. I would try to find something with at least double the height. Better be sure then be sorry.

There is a minimum recommended height for that? Who established this? How? : )

Its probably the only parking lot with no barriers on the top in the whole town centre. Well if you hear anything from local Facebook groups you'll know it was me, but probably won't go through with it if others are saying that there is a good likelihood of surviving. It certainly looks quite high from the top

Trip to Dover it is then!

Maybe I'll take up diving to gain some practise for that perfect landing

it would be if u fell on ur head but i advise you to go to a higher place because if you fall from this you may experience pain and not die on the spot

If you're talking cliffs, I'm assuming there's a reason Dover is less notorious than Beachy Head. I don't think anyone has survived that who didn't land on a ledge partway down (although I can't speak to how many survived long enough to be acutely aware of how messed up their body is).

I stood at the edge and looked down once to see if I would be able to do it if I came back when I wanted to ctb, but I don't think I could jump on my own.

You're joking surely, hehe.

But diving was one of my favourite competitions at the Olympics/watersports and therefore know that even the best will occasionally splash and they weren't jumping for their life, literally. Plus, you never know how much your hands/arms might soften your perfect 4.5 reverse somersault in pike position. I think that's a human protective reaction we might not be able to control.

The others are right, momentum is by far the easier and more effective option.

 

[Anónimo]

Looks like it has good chances of succeeding, but I still wouldn't try it. The thing with jumping is that you should NEVER have to ask if it's high enough. Always make sure it's as high as possible. Like 12+ stories

I recommend you don't do this.

 

[oneeyed]

When you said you'll take up diving, my twisted sense of humour went to the image of people holding up score cards as you land.
SI will probably kick in. Definitely have to land on your head/neck. Any suicide is traumatic for whoever discovers you but this method definitely leaves a more traumatic view.

 

[TiredTurtle]

Probably but not worth the chance
