What would you do in that situation? Would you just plunge head first so you wouldn't feel shit, or would you try and land feet first and roll only to possibly wind up a vegetable your entire life, if you did survive?

Silver bullet position!

You aren't gonna survive. You couldn't physically roll after your feet hit, you'd be traveling too quickly.

JAT stewardess Vesna Vulović survived a fall of 33,000 feet (10,000 m)[7] on January 26, 1972 when she was aboard JAT Flight 367. The plane was brought down by explosives over Srbská Kamenice in the former Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic). The Serbian stewardess suffered a broken skull, three broken vertebrae (one crushed completely), and was in a coma for 27 days. In an interview she commented that, according to the man who found her, "...I was in the middle part of the plane. I was found with my head down and my colleague on top of me. One part of my body with my leg was in the plane and my head was out of the plane. A catering trolley was pinned against my spine and kept me in the plane. The man who found me, says I was very lucky. He was in the German Army as a medic during World War two. He knew how to treat me at the site of the accident." [8]

Juliane Koepcke survived a long free fall resulting from the December 24, 1971, crash of LANSA Flight 508 (a LANSA Lockheed Electra OB-R-941 commercial airliner) in the Peruvian rainforest. The airplane was struck by lightning during a severe thunderstorm and exploded in mid air, disintegrating two miles up. Köpcke, who was 17 years old at the time, fell to earth still strapped into her seat. The German Peruvian teenager survived the fall with only a broken collarbone, a gash to her right arm, and her right eye swollen shut.[10]

Crazy!

They should wear those flying squirrel suits, then just glide to safety!

I've seen that video before and by looking at everyone's comments I didn't even need to click the link to know what it was. Fuck climbing that shit

[tribaltalon]

i've climbed the 1800 footers in missouri city before for uhm... recreational use, but i never went all the way up to the altitude indicator lights. i'm not that stupid (even with a base rig on) and on top of that, that's a LONG fucking climb. we always tried to find the ones with operational elevators. I had a friend of mine that worked on those antennas and may or may not have given us intel (lol) but he said when he changed out the lightbulbs he always climbed with a two carabiner set up, one clipped up high and as the lower one got to his waist he'd unclip and climb up and move it to the next location, but always attached to the tower by at least one strap. These guys seem to not give a fuck and use theirs for resting only. Also, those towers sway... ALOT when you get up towards the top. no fucking way. I'm not scared of heights at all, but sudden impacts with terra firma are something I'd like to avoid indefinitely.

oh and by the way, the ground isnt the only obstacle if you jump/fall. the guide wires, otherwise known as cheese cutters, will cut you in half when you hit them at terminal velocity (120-130 mph give or take on your belly)

Damn crazy vid. I puckered up a few times just from watching it.

[AdRock]

I've seen that vid tons of times and it makes me anxious as shit every time. FUCK THAT.
