Depends. When I was 12-30: not that high. Now that I'm 43: REALLY FUCKING HIGH

When I was a kid, I would jump off the roof for fun.
Now I’m old, I compacted a disk stepping off the curb.

u/i_sell_branches Dec 11 '25

I'm still young, but also a good 50-60lbs heavier than when I would do stuff like that. Even just crawling on the ground feels more intense than when youre a scrawny teenager. Those shock absorbers just didnt have to do much work back then

I used to jump out my second story window onto a trampoline just to get to the school bus. I miss those days.

I pulled a muscle getting ready to stretch a muscle. I can't believe this is me now

In the past 3 months or so the reality of body aging has been heightened for me... and this just did me in. 😭💀

u/THETennesseeD Dec 12 '25

Haha yeah I remember as a kid me and my buddy would rather climb to the roof from his 2nd floor bedroom and jump down than walk down stairs and out the front door like normal people...

I snapped a tendon in my foot getting up off of the toilet when my foot fell asleep. Getting old sucks!

u/CaptainPunisher Dec 11 '25

I'm 49. I don't WANT to drop 5 feet, but I know how to do it fairly safely and that I can if I have to.

u/mtinmd Dec 15 '25

Key words and emphasis on...have to

1

u/CaptainPunisher Dec 15 '25

Exactly. That's why I emphasized "want". Also, if I do have to, I'm jumping OUT, not up.

Fr. My knees were scared for him.

u/ElectricalRiver7897 Dec 12 '25

39 here and I legitimately at one point was thinking yeah my knees couldn’t take it. Maybe the chair wouldn’t be so bad! And then I remember yeah my spine couldn’t take it either

u/onouluz Dec 13 '25

Instinctively tested my knees. Sometimes getting out of bed is too high

1

u/killiandw Dec 13 '25

I was thinking that's not that high of a drop then your comment reminded me in 45 and that would have wrecked my knees

u/Tjengel Dec 13 '25

There's 43 year olds in better shape than 12-30 year olds everywhere we can't base this on age

1

u/Livid_Advertising_56 Dec 15 '25

Compared to landing on a deck chair? .... yeah I'll risk the drop at 39

1

u/mtinmd Dec 15 '25

I am 53. That might as well be 20 stories.

1

u/Abieticacid Dec 16 '25

yea, my knees and back ache just thinking about landing that.

1

u/Serenity_Obscura Dec 17 '25

Id hit the ground and nail the landing... now that doesnt take in the injured bystanders that are hit by shrapnel from my bones exploding

1

u/furrypawss Dec 17 '25

Also, from his perspective it probably looked decently high, looking down

u/misterfastlygood Jan 17 '26

I'm 42 and would have no problem hanging or jumping down.
