You could jump off Verona Rupes and survive, it's only around 20km deep. [spoiler] If you lived on Miranda [/spoiler]

Well, considering I broke my left foot by landing on it from a height of roughly 2 stories... I'd say go right ahead! And do let us know how that works out for you, will you?

You can survive if you land in water that is two blocks deep.

You might survive for a little while, I am not sure how long a person can live when they have their own shin bones protruding out of their shoulders.

You should try it and see so we can use you as a case study for natural selection.

Not even then, since hitting water from a hight is pretty much hitting a brick wall. You would most likely break your legs etc...

even if you reduce that to a 2 story building while standing perfectly straight, you will still break your bones bud -____-

FearMe801

No... you'd likely die on impact. Otherwise you'd shatter your feet, and legs, and lord knows what else. The impact on your muslces would cause them to break down rapidly and release a fatal dose of potassium causing cardiac arrest, IF you didn't bleed out or die of organ trauam/failure or head trauma first. So... no.

If we go with your "not damaging bones or joints" bit of magic, still no. In that case the full shock of the full would be transferred to your organs (including brain) and you'd basically be internally pureed, or actually rupture. Again, if that didn't happen, your muscles would be literally pulverized. Your bones breaking acts like the crumple zones in a car; saving them in this case won't save you.

Seeing as how there are mixed views about this subject, I think OP should physically try it and give us data whether or not he would survive. FOR SCIENCE!

Let me sum this up for you, if you HAVE to ask if you would survive it, chances are you won't.

This reminds me of a operation i had to do 30 years ago. Jumping from a plane into a army of Nazi's is not fun. In fact my hair almost went out of place...

Is it possible to survive? Yes, but not by falling straight up.
Is it probable to survive? No, you will probably die.
Is it possible to not damage anything? Hells no. Lots of things will break.

In short, I highly advise you against such an endeavour.

I was going to jump, but since you said that i would break a bones or die from it I changed my mind

Sorry Science

I think Emo people should do it instead of cutting their wrist with razor so that they had contributed to the world of science before dying

Emo people just need to remember: "Down the road, not across the street," and there wouldn't be any more emo people. Exsanguination is FAR more reliable than a fall in terms of death, suicidal gestures... not so much. Then again, that's probably why they're classfified as suicidal gestures and not attempts. By the way, you SERIOUSLY considered taking that jump?! I mean, barring some kind of mraculous event, you'd be unlikey to land on your feet, and if you didn't die I'd count you as UNlucky. Seriously, kidding in this thread aside, DO NOT jump from significant heights... it's just a bad idea.

No

the only reason i said/typed that because i was just using it as a form of IDK whats its called. it is used to make my sentence long

WHY WOULD I JUMP?! I'm not as Crazy as you think. I'm just finding answers to the Question that has been bugging me for Months through the forums that I cant find in google

Fair enough, but I don't think you're crazy or sane... I know precisely 0 about you. Anyway, the issues with how muscle death due to blunt force trauma leads to increase in K is a big issue. Without rapid infusions of Calcium Gluconate or something similar, it's basically giving yourself the last third of a lethal injection. Hyperkalemia is a baaaaaad way to die, along with most such imbalances.

Actually... you'd probably have nothing to call toes, and a wrecked pelvis so... as vivid as that image is, not even that. :P
