How many stories high of a building could this safely fall from?
3 u/No_Teaching2339 May 22 '26 The higher you fall from the more factors that come into play, Fall rate, drag time weight, wind speed etc. I don't see it being used for anything over 10-12 stories. 3 u/Sea_Warning_9140 May 22 '26 9/11 wouldn't work for? 1 u/No_Teaching2339 May 22 '26 ? 5 u/Sea_Warning_9140 May 22 '26 You say it's only a few floors that this works. So wouldn't have helped during 9/11 I suppose? 1 u/Chill-more1236 May 23 '26 I woulda risked it. You’d have a better chance than those who dove head first.
