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.
