That is some wild shit. I'm still confident in my 16 stories. When I'm up there looking down, I have little doubt about its lethality. I've read about some crazy survival stories. I just told someone today that any method can fail for any reason. There will always be bizarre survival stories no matter what method one chooses. We are all looking for certainty in an uncertain world. I still plan on jumping. I will either die or I won't, but I will give it my best try.Yikes. 36th floors up and she didn't immediately die.

I saw one where a Russian guy fell 19 stories onto a car. They had to cut him out, but he got up and walked away. She was Russian too. Those Russians must be some tough son of a bitches.Yikes. 36th floors up and she didn't immediately die.

Just to give jumping some balance. Three people in one year have died by jumping off a six level parking garage at Disneyland. I'm not good at linking articles but you can look them up. I'm just trying to keep the dream alive...or dead.Yikes. 36th floors up and she didn't immediately die.

Some Russian guy survived 23-floor fall, landing on a car
Thanks, this is "good" news. My planned spot is about 160ft to concrete and asphalt. P.S. 800, damn that is a popular spot.From a popular jump spot relatively close to me, 150ft drop into water, it's estimated out of approx 800 jumpers (at least that they know about), only 3 have survived.
Still: 3 did survive, so it's always possible
I don't know how instant it was, but they at least succeed. If it was painful hopefully they are oblivious to it now.
It's over several decades - averages around 20-25 a year. But yes - statistically speaking, it's pretty much guaranteed. Of those who I know of that survived, it's because there was already a boat out on the water in the rough area they jumped so they were pulled out before drowning. I suspect those that didn't die on impact should have at least likely been knocked unconscious for the drowning part.
