Jumping from a 15 story building: survival possible?

Question

Is it true?

Also, since death is instantaneous, it doesn't hurt the people who jump, right??

Note: just a morbid question.

Answer 1

"...your dead" . It's over before your pain receptors have a chance to tell your brain to feel pain.

Answer 2

It depends what you land on. There have been people who have fallen out of airplanes and their parachutes didn't open, and they survived. Mostly because the ground was nice soft grass. They fell over 10,000 ft, and had accepted death, going into a very relaxed state. Also your terminal velocity can not exceed 120 miles per hour accoring to the rules of physics, so your damage is limited to 120 mile per hour impacts.

My uncle had a cat that fell 40 stories and lived. I had a cat that fell 3 stories and died. It seems when your number's up, your number's up.

As far as pain is concerned. Pain is also relative. A moment can seem like an eternity, when you are near death. Time slows down, so you can't really put a measurement on suffering. Plus sometimes people say that falling people, get heart attacks and die before impact, however I don't know how true that is, since I've seen people jump off the world trade center, and they clearly were conscious the whole way down.

In any case, good luck, and don't commit suicide if that's what your thinking.

There is no problem that is so large that it can not be solved. And time heals all wounds.

Answer 3

On average I would have to say that yes death would pretty much be inevitable but there have been cases where people have fallen from higher altitudes and survived, such as the case that mythbusters tested with the solider falling out of a US bomber at around twenty thousand feet and surviving. They could not reproduce the results but he was still alive to confirm the story was true, but sometimes something like that is just such luck that recreating the exact events can never be reproduced. Other than that yes death should pretty much be instantaneous and I would imagine that you would feel nothing, although a huge surge of pain could also be possible as your body impacted with the ground below. However the feeling on anticipation as you plummet to earth with the ground getting closer and closer would have to effect your mentality and as with alot of jumpers they change their mind half way down - of course there is nothing you can do about it at that point. Like they say it isn't the fall that gets you its the sudden stop.

Answer 4

Why not use this concept on your next technological know-how truthful.? i'm optimistic you ought to offer MANY information after distinctive experiments. At such and the kind of weight you will fall on the cost of ? ft consistent with 2d as oppossed to ? ft consistent with 2d at yet another weight. The blood splatter falling from this top could make a development which includes(then have an occasion drawn on posterboard or something), and so forth. Get the assumption yet another solid one could be, in case you nonetheless exist the outcomes could be????and supply descriptions of short and long term. and so forth and so forth.....yet to simplify an answer on your query......particular it extremely is achieveable. you may or won't remember hitting the floor as you've got a coronary heart attack on the way down (actuality)

Answer 5

In Hinduism we say " jako rakhey saeanay maar sake na koye
that means if GOD is savior no body can kill, At the same time there are instance , people falling from first floor die even before touching the earth.

Answer 6

any thing above 45 feet is most of the time fatal. at 15 story's, your a balloon hitting the floor at 200 plus MPH, you bust open and make a mess of yourself. As for pain, I have always had pain in a bad fall, but then I didn't die, so to say does the brain reg. pain in the instinct of dead, yes, it is the fastest computer still around!

Answer 7

Yes, you can survive. I saw a jumper from the 22nd floor land on the roof of a car and survive. I later read that he broke his back and had become paralyzed from the waist down.

Answer 8

the jump and the ride down are fun....it's the sudden stop that really screws things up that's why most use a parachute to soften the landing

Answer 9

IMO, when you actually hit, there is a nanosecond of pain so excruciating, yet so brief, it has no time to register. I have had a dream before, more than once, and I actually felt the impact for a split second.

Answer 10

Death is most probably assured. Survival depend on your fate.
