What is the maximum height you can fall and still survive?

People usually survive falls from a height of 20-25 feet (6-8 meters), but above that, things get very deadly very fast. A study done in Paris in 2005 looked at 287 victims of falls, and found that falls from 8 stories (30 meters) or higher were 100% fatal. How about 300 feet?

Can you survive a 12000 foot fall?

If you fall out at 12,000 feet (about 2 miles up), you only have about 60 seconds before you hit the ground. In free fall, you fall at about 125 miles per hour (mph) if you have your arms and legs extended, and at that speed you will travel about 12,000 feet in one minute.

What happens when you fall 13000 feet?

During your descent from a height of 13,000 feet, you’ll also experience rapid changes in atmospheric pressure, which can have a huge impact on your ears and your sinuses. These sudden changes in pressure can give you ear and sinus pain as well as vertigo, headache, and nausea.

What happens to your body when you fall 1000 feet?

If the thousand foot fall was terminated by a body of water, you would die just as quickly as if you had hit a solid object. 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.

Should you land on water?

When you land on water, you will effectively be swimming. There is a risk of getting tangled on the canopy lines, and getting drowned. Your only chance is to get off your harness before this happens and swim ashore. If your parachute fails and you are over water you will land in water, it’s not a matter of “should”.

How should you land when you fall?

Bend your knees (but not too much) and hold your legs together. This way both of your legs will touch the ground simultaneously, and the impact will be weaker. Additionally, try to land on the tips of your toes to absorb the force of the impact. You will most likely break your legs, but this is the lesser of two evils.
