Is it possible to fall 114ft and live??


Question: would you be die while falling or be so injured that you would be hospitalize for life?
Answers: Yes, it is possible to live ... you might live in lots of pain for the rest of your life ... but it is possible to live.
It's possible. You might land on water. You might only bounce and suffer moderate injury. It depends on many factors, but it IS possible.
Sure. Two words: bungee cord.
It's definitely possible. Effect from landing on concrete will differ from effect from landing on dense bushes or huge mattresses.
I've heard of skydivers falling w/o their parachute not opening and live to tell about it. Of course, its a rarity, but its possible.
Learn to write a sentence correctly before you try anything stupid,that way the medics or whom ever can understand the suicide note pinned to your shirt.
There was a man whose parachute did not open when he was sky-diving, and he lived. So, it is possible to survive.

But injury is guaranteed! Lifelong, possible.
People can survive falls from 30,000. There's documented cases that these people landed just right and ended up pulverizing their legs, but they lived. So surviving a fall from 114 feet isn't unfathomable. I'd say you have a greater chance of dying rather than living though. I suppose a heart attack in mid air might occur, but you'd hit the ground before the heart attack killed you. Cause of death would definitely be impact with a) sidewalk b) parking meter c) wrought-iron fence d) big unforgiving rock.
i don think so
Most definately, especially if the distance to the ground is 115 ft. or more! :-)
Anything is possible. I read not long ago that someone lived after their parachute didn't open.
depends where u land or carrying a chute
Because of atmospheric drag, a body falling to earth from any height high enough achieves terminal velocity. It does not go any faster. So the factor that determines what happens when that body stops falling depends on what it lands on, how it is oriented when it lands, what it has on, etc.

For terminal velocity and the physics of falling from a height, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling#Cla...
haha.. im just commenting on the guy above me's enthusiasim. But um yea its possible to live.
yes it is possible i know that because i have the record Guinness book from 2000 and they say :
a) longest fall survived by and infant 1997 an 18 month old baby named aljandro fell 65 and half foots he felt from a seven floor builtding kitchen.
b) longest fall survived whit out a parachutte: january 26 1972 vesna vulovic i flight atendant fall from an altitude of 33,330 ft. when she was flying to czechoslovakia the other 27 passagers die.
