Man Plunges 40 Stories & Survives

Saw this on the news, amazing. He landed on a parked car which broke his fall. He would have reached upwards of 160kmh whilst falling.

If he was attempting suicide, then it´s a case of a real epic fail.

Nice. I remember something similar happening a few years ago...Again in NYC.

But in this case I see your 40 floors and raise you to 47.

Both are miraculous though, given that the odds of supposedly surviving even a fall from 4 stories is only about 10%.

I remember reading on Cracked about a man who got drunk, and in an attempt to prove a point to his wife, he jumped through the glass of his window and fell quite a few stories. Then he brushed himself off and did it again.

I remeber that, he was a window cleaner.

Amazing that people can survive such impacts.
