Does it hurt a lot to die by falling from 7th floor?  Does it take long to loose consciousness after touching the ground?

Well there are people who survived jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge so here's what happened to one guy: Hines fell 220 feet at about 75 miles per hour. The impact from a fall like that is similar to hitting concrete. The contact shattered two of his vertebrae, and doctors later told him that he was only 2 millimeters away from severing his spine.

so this was landing in water from over 200 ft above. Its rare for anyone to survive this fall and landing in the ground you're less likely to survive. But if one did i would imagine it probably feels similar to what this guy felt.

well there is an issue getting a true answer here. as to get a truly honest and anywhere accurate answer requires someone who has done just that and that is not possible because either they are dead so can't amswer or survived so will not know for sure.

It would hurt during the fall because your ribcage will probably collapse. Not sure what happens when you hit the ground.

There's no study that'll answer this, but I would suggest that if someone wants to "fall" from a tall structure, do so from 40 floors up or higher.

You kind of have to have fallen and lived to answer the question.. BUT , my guess is Yes , and it hurts a lot , and thats if you somehow live.

Nah, you can survive Just depends how you fall, I suppose.

We don't know. By the time anyone gets to the victim he or she is already dead and in really bad shape.

Not if you land on your head. If you land on your feet you'll probably still die, but not necessarily instantly. If you're really lucky you might survive but you won't have any legs.

It is not the fall that hurts it is the sudden stop at the end.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Naw, it doesn't hurt a bit! Once you hit, it's all over!

riverrat3 · Answer

The fall does not hurt, it is that sudden stop at the end that does all the damage
