How could he survive falling from that high?

Could something slow down the man?

Seems like some rubble from the scaffolding might have broken the fall, idk. They called it a medical "miracle". This is so unlikely that it can be completely ignored.

If you jump from the Golden Gate, a height of 75 meters, the fatality rate is actually not 100 % but 98 %, so there are never any guarantees. I believe that except for standing next to a detonating atomic bomb, there's always a risk, however slim, that you may survive.

Would a 10 liter helium tube be enough?

Holy fuck!!! That's mental. She had a bit of a limp though, so her day was probably ruined.

She was saved as her fall was broken by a fibreglass awning above a garage.
She was later taken to the hospital where it was discovered that she had only suffered a broken right hand from the fall.

Reminds me of that fella who got sucked into the jet engine and survived.
