9th story "Fall" from building
 

Not sure, but it looks like he jumped, landed on a BMW 3 series and survived

Not posting the photo with him tangled in the car. But here is the poor car afterwards

If bet if you landed that roof just right, it would absorb a ton of energy . As long as you did not go through the slicer. Crazy he lived .
Id have monkey rolled that myself
My 53 year old brother and law just fell off a 3 story roof . He walked away from it , a pretty lucky guy.
He said , as soon he knew he was going over, he made a leap for a tree that was about 10 feet away and fell down through the branches .

if he monkey-rolled correctly, that car would buff out! :D

Good thing the BMW wasn't a cabriolet.

Gentlemen, we have a new monkey-roll competitor. Puffy jackets.

A proper "monkey roll" wouldn't have left a scratch on the BMW.... so it wasn't Sniper :)

Cheap roof.

Good thing the car's unoccupied.

The first time a face was effective:

The video also shows a face mask strap still dangling from the guy’s ear, despite falling roughly 100 feet.

He had a long way to go, and a short time to get there...

Reminds me of this story in Look Magazine in 1947. This woman jumped from the Empire State building. Sad.

My exact first thought.

I guess, too much windage? Pushed off too much?

d=1/2 a t^2

12 feet per floor = 108 feet

108*2/32.2=t^2

t = 2.6 seconds

If the sidewalk is 10 feet wide plus 3 feet to middle of car, then he was doing about 5 feet per second horizontally. That is about 3.5 mph, walking speed.

Too soon?

Get a Volvo.

LOL!

Wow, year, lucky. Tell him not to buy any lottery tickets because he just used up his luck.
ROFLMAO. I read that, twice, and probably cocked my head to the side like a dog. Yeah honey, I'm sure the puffy jacket did it.

New sport, 2022, puffy jacket skydiving!

This reminds me of the suicide of Evelyn Hale from the Empire state building. I think she was dubbed the "fallen angel"

I would think his lateral movement would show a precipitous drop off.

So much nicer than a concrete splat.

For sale: BMW that ran well when parked 😁. Sunroof currently doesn't work may be an easy fix 😋

Need to bend your knees on landing from that sort of height

You mean like when you do a cannonball into a swimming pool?

Yep, bend your knees and wear a puffy jacket!

I had two uncles both fall from heights of six stories and survived.

One shortly after WWII was a mason in washington DC. working on an elevator shaft. Fell feet first. He was giviien last rights. Pulled through, was told he would never walk again. Walked his only child down the alter in the early 1990's.

The other also a maso, working on a new hotel in our town. A piece of something came off the roof and hit him knocking him off the scaffold. Fractured his back, was in traction for some time but fully recovered. This same guy was shot in the head by a 22L in a shooting gallery on our boardwalk. Bullett ricocheted lodging behind his ear. The bullett was never removed.
