Help is this tall enough

[TheWorstLife]

i think its 4-6 stories, taken like a block away, this doesn't look lethal at all and its one if the tallest buildings near me and its very accessible and not out of the way. i have another building or two (or three) planned but they would be a lot harder to plan out imo

 

[violetforever]

no way

idk man
falls have a high risk of leaving you crippled and bed ridden, and then fully recovering...

When I was a kid my family were at this Stupa renovation. We were at the very top. And there was a worker there, he said he fell to the ground, The round shape of the stupa broke his fall, but he fainted before he hit the ground. Woke up in a hospital, and came back to work a few months later.

Looks risky .

risk is not an option

or leaving you crippled for life which would hinder my ability to kms lmao

No. Sure you could die even if you landed perfectly on your head. But it wouldn't be immediate. If you were to die you'd actually be lucky depending on where you fell to do so. You need to have your head explode with such energy that your brain no longer exists and thereby your consciousness. You need 450+ feet. This is like 70 feet maximum. Over 6 times the height is required. Force is a product of mass and acceleration both of which are constant in your body and the gravity of earth. The only variable is height. It's not even linear the amount of force 6 times higher than that would be immensely more powerful when your head accelerates (or compared to your y position decelerates) as it hits the ground. It wouldn't be 6 times more powerful but 36x at least more. It would be the difference of shooting yourself in the head with a BB gun and a 12 gauge shotgun.

Not high enough to die but definitely high enough to make you quadriplegic

Nooo not on snow

Look after Shatteredspine, he's a member on this site and I believe he jumped from the 13th floor. He survived and is disabled with lots of damage.

 

[Natanael]

Oh hell, don't even think about it.

You need 450+ feet.

A study of falla shows 150ft/46m onto concrete or 250ft/76m onto water is sufficient for a nearly garaunteed death. Cleaning the need for 450 feet is excessive.

This won't work. At best you would break multiple bones and it would be very painful. At worst you would crippled or paralyzed. Chances of success jumping from this building are very low.

6x the height will be not just 6x more powerful but at least 36x more? If you are referring to the terminal speed of the jumper, it would actually be only sqrt(6) times, if you ignore drag.

Yeah, this too.

 

[ummagumma]

where are you from, buddy? i assume that you are from russia (judging by the way the building looks. and by snow)
if yes, just order some sn, you can easily find it online
or hang yourself. or find a taller building. but dont try to kill yourself that way. you wont die, but end up traumatised and maybe even paralysed

 

[Tired_birth_1967]

In my reality, jumping would be the only possibility. But I would only do that if I were 20 stories high or more.

6x the height will be not just 6x more powerful but at least 36x more? If you are referring to the terminal speed of the jumper, it would actually be only sqrt(6) times, if you ignore drag.

Obviously in an atmosphere you'll hit terminal velocity but my point was just that every foot extra you fall before hitting terminal increases your chance of dying instantly more than a linear amount since the energy smashing into your body when it decelerates is not linear compared to the height but exponential.

Its not exponential.
