What height can you survive from?
What height can you survive from? If someone falls more than 60 feet [18 m], this is usually lethal, and it is extremely unlikely, or a miracle, if a patient falls from higher than 80 feet [24 m] and survives. But another big factor is whether a person was in free fall, which boils down to a fundamental principle in physics.
Can a person survive a 1000 foot fall?
If the thousand foot fall was from, for example, 10,000 feet to 9,000 feet of altitude and you had a parachute, you would likely live. If you didn't have a parachute you would be frightened, possibly to death if you had a weak heart.
What happens if you jump into water from a great height?
Even if you enter feet-first in a straight, vertical line, and like a pencil, that impact can be strong enough to compress your spine, break bones, or give you a concussion. The force of the water can knock people unconscious on impact, and even if you survive, you may drown.
