If you fall from let's say Sears Tower building by accident, what happens?!


Question:

If you fall from let's say Sears Tower building by accident, what happens?

does the human brain shuts off? or your heart explodes? or do you go into cardiac arrest and go unconscious before you hit the ground? i always been curious about that...


Answers:

It is an urban legend that you die before you ever hit the ground. If this were true every person who had ever jumped from a plane would die. They fall much further than any building and reach maximum velocity before deploying their parachute.

Some people might pass out from fear, of course, but most people would remain conscious until they hit the ground.

In fact a few (and a very few at that) people have jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and have survived. They remained conscious, although I think the impact may have knocked them out for a few seconds.
