Some high school physics:
s = 1/2 at^2 about 1.98 sec of free fall time.
v = at which gives us about 43 mph of impact velocity.
There was a time I was a volunteer at the SF General ER room when I was considering going to the medical school.
We had a guy who fell from a 5 story parking lot that survived with a broken foot. The police came and he wouldn't say what had happened and the whispers behind the ER room was he was probably pushed but he is afraid to speak.
When the ER doctor came to examine him, the doctor asked about two other old scars.
What is this scar? I was stabbed once.
What is this other scar? I was shot once.
Yep, talk about nine lives.
