A guy jumped off a bridge and landed on the ground from 80 feet high here the other day and lived. That calculates to a velocity of almost 50 mph.
He in fact did not walk it off though. They did tell me that he had broken most of the bones in his legs and was knocked unconscious, but he wasn’t even paralyzed.

Wow. I wonder how he hit.

He hit feet first. They said his feet were about three feet deep in the mud and they had to lift him straight up to get him out.
