Method realistically, could one die from falling from the third floor?

i have other methods in mind but jumping would for sure be the easiest one. my dorm is on the third floor, but i'm scared to end up with just two broken legs. if i fall right, what are the chances i'd die on impact? or is it better to look into other methods?

Sure If land just right, no one knows what the chances are. Lots of people have died from shorter distances. And lots have lived and ended up in far worse circumstances.

Can you die from falling off third floor? Yes. But the probabilities would not as high as you would hope. The worst thing that could happen wouldn't be broken legs, it would be a broken spine and paralysis.

Unless you are desperate and are okay with doing a very risky gamble on whether you will die or end in a state worse than what you are in now, definitely look into other methods or jump from a much higher height.

Low chance. You'll probably just end up crippled or with permanent damage

You'd have a pretty good chance if you could land on your head, which you can't.

Guy in the psych ward with me tried from third floor. His foot was a little messed up. I have researched this extensively and some people have lived falling out of planes thousands of feet up. Don't wind up in prison hospital.
