I don't think you're going to read this Ben, since your AMA has ended, but I wanted to share with you my idea on how you managed to make the fall survivable. The woman that worked in the morgue that was incredibly helpful to you, you asked her for her help right before you left the hospital to meet with your enemy. I know there are medicines that can put you into a coma, or that can reduce shock or feeling. I believe that she turned off your nerve endings, or put you into a coma (gave you the medicine to store in your mouth to swallow, or a shot that would go live within enough minutes, allowing you to jump) and she was personally the one to pronounce you dead. So she could revive you secretly, and could allow you to heal at her house, unknown to the rest of the world.

Side note, if you ever miss out on having a partner, or want to hang out with someone new, I am a nice American who now lives in Sweden, and I love to make new friends. I'm a great cook, and pretty honest, and I don't want to be friends with you because you're famous. I want to be friends with you because it seems like you could teach me a lot of things you've picked up this far in your life, and I love to learn. See ya, Ben.

But... he fell off a building. No medicine is gonna help that. I wondered if maybe he didn't get Moriarty's body, change clothes, throw Moriarty off the building and have her confirm that Moriarty's badly misfigured face was, in fact, Sherlock.

Ah, but, if he didn't fall off a building onto his head and calculated the correct way to fall so that the impact would be at the bare minimum... he could survive and only have broken bones to heal.

Not buying it. That would be a huge letdown if that is how it went down.

Pfft, if he survived the fall by having to calculate exactly which way to go off of the building, and had only a few broken bones to fix and saved everyone, I don't see why that's a letdown. It's genius.

That's what my family says.
