How do you die from falling?

Question

Lets say your parachute didnt open. Could you not land feet first and do a roll or something. I am guessing lots of you will say your legs bones will go through to your chest or something. OK then how far can you fall without dying if you are a grown adult and are going to land in a field and trying to land feet first :D

Answer 1

I fell from thirty feet and broke my leg because I landed wrong jumping from one side to the other on a cliff.
It was a dirt bottom and I did have a little to break my fall down, but not enough.
Now you fall from 100ft. Where do you want to be buried at?

Answer 2

Almost 50% of falls from 10 feet or more are fatal.....Lots of people die falling off of ladder and roofs. If you don't break every bone in your body, your brain collides with your skull as well as all your internal organs. Your bone structure is what contributes to your death. Falling from 4 stories, 40 feet, is roughly equivalent to getting hit by a Mack truck going 40 mph.

Answer 3

I know a lot of roofers and construction workers that have fallen 40 feet and lived. The higher up you fall from the worse it is because as you fall you pick up speed. Sort of like if you wreck a car going 5 miles an hour you have a dent. If you wreck going 100 miles your car will most likely be mangled, broke apart and totaled.

Answer 4

I believe you will have to simply chill out and in the event you particularly desire to fall in love so rapidly, which is able to oftentimes be terrible if you are simply beginning your lifestyles, when you consider that love can also be disasterous. I'm no longer pronouncing to move for it, when you consider that via the sound of your query (no offense) it sounds such as you particularly want a few robust palms to keep you. If you particularly desire to fall in love, I bet you will have to believe approximately what you uncover so much in a man and opt for it, however I have no idea something approximately your social lifestyles so I can not particularly pass judgement on.

Answer 5

its not the falling silly its the landing....how fast are you falling....
try an experiment with an raw egg (inside the shell) drop it from different heights...it is pretty close to how your body will react to falling without a parachute....not good...no matter how you try to land....
if there was a way to land without a parachute that you might survive and walk away.....wouldnt they teach that rather than using parachutes?

Answer 6

I don't know how far you can fall without risking death or severe injury...the VELOCITY RATE at which you fall is the culprit here which is why one cannot land feet first and roll...

The higher up you begin your fall the higher the velocity rate; the harder you hit. Physics!!

Answer 7

I heard your leg will go inside of you, or your leg will break in half if you go past 30 Feet or so

Answer 8

Experiment! Start by jumping from short distances and work up til you kill yourself. I'm sure this will answer that question.

Answer 9

The fall does not kill you...........Its the sudden stop at the end of a fall

Answer 10

if you fall really hard
