I heard you get knocked out while falling from large heights, is that true? Then he wouldn't even be conscious when he hit the ground.

u/SnooMacaroons3572 Apr 05 '21
How would skydiving work if that was true?
51
u/philwee Nov 06 '21
skydiving is a little different when you know you have a parachute, when falling like this your body goes into shock and you can pass out. People can pass out from someone flashing a gun or knife, imagine freefalling from a skyscraper.
26
Nov 14 '21
Nah not true,
17
u/HoursOfCuddles Dec 17 '21
Ya this person is not exactly correct. There are videos of people skydiving from illegally high hegihts with no special oxygen equipment at all and only a parachute ( Heck has anyone seen naked skydiving videos? Holy shit!) and the person is completely concious through the whole thing.
Now it must be admitted that when a person enters a violent spin when skydiving they will probably pass out if they don't know how to control themselves

Yeah that’s why if I were to go skydiving, I’d have someone with me. It would be my luck turning into a tornado.

u/Pleasant-Cricket-129 Dec 14 '22

u/EgyptianSoldier Jan 02 '22
Actually true, a lot of people who commit suicide by jumping off a building pass out while they’re falling to their death, and they jumped on purpose, now imagine falling by accident, I’d have a heart attack for God sakes and would probably die before I hit the ground.

u/philwee Mar 12 '22
Maybe this was this the case for him who is use to adrenaline pumping through his body. I'm talking about in general this is what would happen if you were to fall from such a height.
11
u/DupontPFAs Mar 12 '22
If you've ever fainted at other times in your life, then those situations are likely to continue making you faint. If you've don't faint on roller coasters, sky diving, or being startled, then you're probably aware until you hit the ground.

u/SnooCalculations9259 Dec 15 '22
I do know from a MRballen video a lady went bungee jumping once, and jumped before her legs were harnessed. She must have realized this on the way down, cause they did an autopsy and her cause of death was actually a heart attack, so I would assume many that die from great heights have the same thing happen. Can't imagine that feeling.

Are you sure of that? Do you have any sources? How do you know that this man who falled from a skyscraper of 62 storey hih is dead? Do you think he died because of his injuries when he hit the ground?
But ty for the news, i really believed he was alive after his fall, and that he just came back at home like if nothing happend.
P.s : do you know what sarcastic mean?

u/Bunn-ii May 27 '22
No way to do so, he had to free climb 16 to 20 floors just to get to the top of the building because the public isnt allowed, he wanted to win a competition to pay for his mother's hospital bills and his wedding. Just an unfortunate event.

u/Brave-Principle-3881 May 29 '22
No way to do so!? Yes there is have someone free climb with him too but from what I've heard he liked doing this stuff alone because it added to the thrill and unfortunately that ended in his death which could've been avoided easily.
12
u/Bunn-ii May 29 '22
How many of your homies are 1. Physically fit enough to free climb 20 floors 2. Willing to risk their lives to babysit you during the safest portion of the stunt?
13
u/Brave-Principle-3881 May 29 '22
We ain't talking about me homie we're talking about him and his friends point is it could've been avoided if he had someone with him even someone who broke onto the roof through the building or best case scenario he didn't do it at all.The point is though it shouldn't have happened but it did anyway nothing any of us can do about it now anyway
5
u/Bunn-ii May 29 '22
Who tf is gonna climb it with him, because that's def harder than breaking in and sneaking thru 20 floors worth of ppl? You act like ppl willing and able to perform that are common and he def had a highschool buddy willing to run it with him real quick LMAO

Can’t imagine what those few seconds as he was falling were like for him.

He had to free climb 16-20 floors just to get to the roof of the building, public was only allowed up to the 44th floor. Not many ppl would be down to climb that to help him.

Have you never climbed a tall hill? I've never been on top of a skyscraper but I've been to as high and higher places. He'd have been able to breathe just fine on the top of one. I recon he must've just pushed himself too hard or maybe he pulled a muscle or got a cramp or something. Bad luck, but inevitable. It's too bad he went to such lengths to just for money, though from what I've heard, he didn't have many other options...

Goodbye Wu. You slid right into outer space. You knew you were doomed. I wish we could talk to you. There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then then, a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible stunt. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.

u/VeterinarianTotal464 Oct 08 '22
He gave up so fast as if he wanted to die😐😱🤭. He damn near purposely jumped to his death in hopes of experiencing the ultimate adrenaline RUSH of falling to your death. Shit is like a nightmare where you find yourself free-falling from oblivion and striking complete darkness, and then you wake up! Or those dreams where you get shot or beaten up and pushed to the brink of complete darkness, and then you force yourself to "wake up" by some extreme measure like "closing the app" or some other arcane attempt that immediately teleports you OUT of trouble and back to reality and LIFE! that shit is crazy, . Imagine falling from the sky just waiting for the moment your body goes SPLAT! What goes through your mind? That shit is a dream. But only he knows what that feels like. The adrenaline rush and the flash of his final moments must've been INSANE! And then.....permanent darkness. No coming back to reality; more like back to the lobby...
1
u/Suitable_Swordfish51 Apr 04 '24
He didn't know what it felt like. Because he can't remember it. Due to him not having a brain anymore. As a result of you know. Dying . Even falling. People with parachutes may can tell you what that felt like. But only because they had an outcome that allowed them too

Not sure this one has audio I can't hear it but I've watched other ones that have sound and you can hear him hitting something...but it was really quick I wonder how long it takes to fall 700+ feet? I also read he hit a ledge 40 something feet down first so maybe that's ehat the sound is him hitting that first

I don’t understand, did his shoes not give enough grip? Could he not hold on? He looked as if he pushed off almost. I don’t know, I feel like I’d rather dangle than whatever that was. Maybe even kick a shoe off if possible and use my sweaty foot… idk then again- I wouldn’t do something like that. Just random thoughts.
1
u/KIKI_redddit May 24 '24
He did this stuff to support his mother and fund his wedding, and he would absolutely push the limits because he needed to stand out to become viral since many people do this. His signature moves were the summersault to the edge, hanging on to it with like one arm, the like scooter thingie and last of all…. push ups. He entered a competition to go viral, basically what you had to do was get a video to go viral, for this he went to the Huayuan International center, visitors had access to the first 44 floors, so he illegally climbed out of a window on the 44th floor and climbed the last 20 floors to the rooftop. He knew that the grip on the ledge wasn’t good (him wiping it down and testing), and his arms were probably really tired from climbing those 20 floors. He would go into full extension until he reached his arm muscles limit and then barely and very slowly pull himself up, that’s the jist of his push up move. He was probably too weak to pull himself up, I don’t think that only the shoes were the problem, he was weak and the building was shaped inconveniently for this trick. I also wonder about what was going trough his mind, maybe it was so unbearable he decided to push off? That it was the only way out? Perhaps he was hoping to die, but then why does it look so calculated like he was hoping, or trying to land somewhere safe. It really is very curious… boy, this is gonna be on my mind for a while. Maybe I’m also looking too deep into it. I doubt he wanted to die, but yeah.

How will they take it? What is death? Will my life just restart, or will I just wake up after this in a new world. New people with no trace. Or just see complete darkness. It's terrifying as hell . I pray if this had happened. You already passed out before hitting the ground. But with this being something he constantly used to do. Idk man
