Jumping to concrete from 3 stories up ?

Jumping to wood from 3 stories up ?

Answer 1

its all the same. you would get hurt either way.

same as the misconception that falling into water is somehow a soft landing.

no. its like hitting a brick wall.

dont jump from anywhere, onto anything.

Answer 2

If you wore your underwear outside your trousers, yes it would not hurt at all.

Answer 3

Just tried and can report safe to do so.

Answer 4

Depends on how you land.

You could either end up dead, or breaking every bone in your body.

Answer 5

When I was thirteen I went to visit my girlfriend while she was babysitting. Her father came by to check on her. That was bad enough, but he was drunk so before she let him in she had me go to a bedroom on the second floor. I waited for a few minutes listening to him ranting and raving at her. I heard him say what he would do if he found anyone there with her, and when it sounded as though he was coming up the stairs, I decided to take the only option left to me. I was in an apartment that was a part of what originally was military housing in World War II. There were some shrubs just below the window, so I had to jump far enough out to miss them, thus hitting concrete. With nothing more than an "Oomph!" and being forced into a squat when I hit bottom, I stood back up and was off and running. Based on that, and the fact that there have been people who have landed on pretty much bare ground and survived after a parachute and the emergency chute both failed to open, I would say, "Yes, I would survive it." And that goes for either wood or concrete. At that height, it would make little difference. Of course if I could choose the wood, I would make it cork. Today, it would take more than a drunk father to get me to do it again, but if it were life and death, I would jump, quite certain that if I managed to land properly, I would at least survive it, even though the probability of some bodily injury would be fairly high.
