What is the best way to fall from a great height?

Question

What would be the position to land in that would (ideally) cause you the least amount of damage?

Answer 1

on your feet/legs or your hands and knees... while you may end up with no arms or no legs or both, you don't technically need your extremities to survive. If you landed anywhere on your torso, you risk breaking your back and causing internal trauma. There's a reason they're called VITAL organs, so you dont' want them damaged. and if you landed on your head, well, that's obvious.



but the most obvious answer, of course is, don't fall!

Answer 2

when you fall from great height,you land with you feet and roll forward,for doing so, you can reduce the damage.

Answer 3

with the help of a parachute. On land, feet first, hit and roll. On water, leg first, straighten your body out. In the air, hands and legs spread out.

Answer 4

Swimming Pool.

Answer 5

i think you would be best off trying to land on all four limbs, but falling from a great height is WHACK

Answer 6

Land flat on your face, arms out to the side and legs sprawled.

Answer 7

This is crazy, but I would think on your feet with your legs slightly bent and then fall into a roll.

Answer 8

like Bleuwra said, on your feet with your legs slightly bent and then fall into a roll

Answer 9

when u fall ; just try to keep ur eyes as wide open as u can because after falling who knows that whetrher u will b able to see this beautifull world or not

Answer 10

Feet first....it would probably destroy your legs and hips but you would stand a much greater chance of survival because the brain and internal organs would be further from impact!
