I've heard that a jumper's heart stops before they actually make contact with the ground?

a) There are no 200-story buildings in the world, and
b) Skydivers jump out of planes all the time at heights much higher than the equivalent of 200 stories. They survive just fine.

Highly unlikely unless it's from fear. Your heart will stop the instant you hit the ground.
No one has ever fallen from a 200 story building as there aren't any that tall.

Only if you have a heart attack on the way down. The fall won't kill you, it's the sudden stop at the bottom. ROFLMAO!

I suppose it would if they were already a good candidate for a heart attack. Otherwise, I can't think of why it would.

Your brain would be the first to die, then your brain will stop sending signals to the rest of your body and your heart will stop pumpin blood.
