Actually pretty slim. . at that height, you would probably reach terminal velocity for a human falling thorough space which is 123 to 126 mph.
In short, its not those first 160 feet or so, its that last one. . . the chances for survival from that height is <10%. . .
I hope you are not suicidal, because there are cases of people jumping from altitudes and landing on a car roof, and living, but paralyzed and on a ventilator for the rest of their life. . Making that situation worse that it was before.
If you are, please reconsider, and call a suicide hot line. . .please. . .
Hope this helps

Record fall survival from a building to date is 70 ft or 7 floors. Based on that I would say almost none.

Unlikely. That's 160 feet. Just falling from a height twice your own has a 30% mortality rate and for each 10 feet you add, the rate doubles.

Interestingly, a cat has been known to fall from the 32nd floor with survivable injuries.
Humans... not so much.

16th floor? Are you kidding? No chance at all!

None unless there is a big *** awning on the 15th floor, or a 14 floor pile of pillows...

No chance. None at all. Think of he speed one would be going. Man! No way.

well, it really depends on what they land on. they can die or survive. I would say that it's a slight chance that they survive

The same chance as shooting a loaded gun into one's head.
