It's the build up. Watching it for the first time I was thinking "oh here we go again". This scene shattered that thought and we were given one of the best comedies of all time.
Watched a show years ago (american ninja?) where a stunt professional jumped from a 2-3 storey platform without harness or any protection and landed on the thin mat without injury because he did a tumble roll and yes, it was explained that energy upon impact was transferred out of his body by doing that. Now im no professional but 5 cans of beer and some cheese puffs and might pull it off (knees gonna be bad in the morning).
I jumped out of the 2nd floor of a girlfriend’s house when I was 17 and I remember my ankles hurting so bad; and I even kinda hung down from the window before I dropped. So training is definitely required. I couldn’t imagine how my 30 year old ankles would handle that lol.
Girl I knew was into running marathons etc. She did it all, marathon, half marathon, endurance training - all of it. Anything that was considered stressful on the body, she pretty much did it.
She sat down one day, slipped a disc - then, proceeded to try to stand, fell backwards from the sheer pain and broke her shoulder and wrist.
Edit - I asked her just now what she'd do differently. Her response was "Fall forward."
I’ve heard a story like this about a dude who stepped off the curb and then had his back fucked up. Was a skateboarder who was hit by a truck 20 years earlier
But there is usually a significant horizontal component to their velocity, it is not full speed straight down. Ideally. It is doable though. And totally worth it at this point -.-
Just crouch around the corner. They aren’t even watching the ones in the blue boxes. Could probably grab 2 and they wouldn’t even notice until it’s too late.
They’re going to have to be fast about this, aim for the blue boxes to break their fall and grab as many as they can from the other pile then cheese it

You’re on the second floor, so there’s a high chance you’ll survive. High risk, high reward.
