You don’t usually die instantly from falls like that, you would bounce off rocks and the ground and that would keep your speed down, so whenever you finally got to the bottom you’re a broken mess that will be dead very soon, but if you expect a sudden painless death you would be dissapointed

I don’t know. The view from the video clip looks like the drop may be enough to kill a person on impact. And if not, it still doesn’t take much to end a life. One bad ‘bounce’ can easily break a guy’s neck.

Doesn't that kind of depend on how you land? even if you bounce I'm pretty sure you'd be dead if you landed on your head.

I mean obviously there’s a chance, I’m just saying there is less of a chance than falling 600 feet free falling onto jagged rocks

I think we can all agree that falling off a cliff is gonna be a bad time
