When it comes to falling what do you view is more deadly?

When it comes to falling of a cliff or building what do you view is more deadly, the falling through mid air or the sudden stop that follows falling.

Falling

Sudden stop

It's not the falling part that is dangerous, it's when you smack the ground. Because you're either gonna be seriously injured or, uh, dead.

falling... because if you fall of a cliff then you will never be able to experience the sudden stop :-P

really?

Somethings telling me the sudden stop is more deadly, but I'm no expert.

There is no problem with the falling. Sudden stop on hard material (even water at high speed) leads to deadly injuries.

The deadly part is hitting hard on the floor, unless you get a heart attack or something in mid air.

Falling through mid air is the fun part! Before it all goes to hell...

On the upside , free burial service depending on where you fall on.

[aKKordingtoGreta]

I guess there's an upside to everything. :-/

I hear it's not the fall but the sudden stop that does the damage.

Definitely sudden stop the impact is more deadly.
