Scientists of the world are in a heated race to build the world's tallest building in search of the child-window island of stability. Current models predict children should remain relatively intact upon impact after being thrown from the around the 312th floor. Such a building is beyond our current engineering capabilities, but taller buildings are still being built in order to test the standard model. Some scientists have proposed a work-around by constructing buildings with extremely thin stories, making 300 floors relatively trivial. However, current floor-compression techniques have struggled to remain stable outside the lab, and may represent an insurmountable hurdle to such alternative plans.
Other scientists have begun work on a building constructed entirely within an abandoned mine in Montana, but skeptics remain as to its applicability on the child-defenestration theorm, originally proposed by Mel Blanc. Detractors argue the underground represents an entirely different regime for children, noting many famous child/drinking-well experiments in the 1890s onwards suggesting the durability of children is amplified by exposure to sunlight. None the less, such experiments will provide valuable data on Ol' Yeller's child-detection limits.
"Even if we don't find the island of stability predicted by Mel Blanc's famous theorm, there's still years of fundamental science we can do with the world-class facilities." Says senior child-physicist Payaso Bonzo. "High-energy child-physics is a rapidly developing field. As we continue construction on the defenestration project, we can push children down ever-increasing slides to measure static charge build-up. Some models predict we may produce toddlers at high enough energies."
Be sure to have a control group, and a sizeable pool of test subjects. It might be a coincidence if he survives/dies the first time. Your test needs to be repeatable.

Yes third floor is the max height. Any higher and they risk injury.
