Quote Officials from the construction company said the man was not supposed to be above the third floor and had removed his hardhat.
I don't think his hard hat would have saved him.

The incident report should make interesting reading.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

You can kill yourself falling just one storey if you are unlucky, other times great heights may not kill you.

It's not the fall that kills you ... it's generally the abrupt stop at the bottom.

Quote from: nadger Man falls 53 storeys and lands on car
I guess that he was just six stories too high - Man falls 47 Stories and lives to tell about it.

I like seeing peoples reactions when watching this - Man jumps out of plane with no parachute, lands on trampoline

Easy to fake....... man enters plane.... looks apprehensive..... puts on helmet.& vid cam..... uses "telemetry" to send info to ground station... ( displayed on laptop )... jumps from plane... parachute opens... and "object" falls to ground... ( with another , or even same camera, and telemetry.... we don`t see the switch in the video of course... )... object hurtles to ground... ground cam follows it... leaving parachute sliding out of shot.... CUT.... Drone takes over the cam and telemetry... flies through a hole in the factory roof ... CUT... signal lost... blank screens....ACTION.. show ground crew, in office cheering... CUT.. Show man falling through roof, and landing on trampoline... to rapturous applause from (paid for) stooges aka crowd....
OK... so I may have got some of the scenes mixed up... but you can see how editing can fool the brain.... it always does in tv and films... so why not this ?

but that watching peoples faces was interesting - while they are thinking is that even possible or fake !

Do you think this was real ? - 80 year old Lady Slips Out of Parachute When Skydiving - or was it a stunt woman body double ?
