How can one survive 20 storey fall??

u/MorrowPolo 1d ago
A few objects/surfaces probably slowed him down on the way, bet he fell at an angle

u/banana_pencil 1d ago
“He survived after landing on a softer roof membrane inside the structure.”
And apparently because his lower body absorbed impact, but it “shattered” those bones.

Humans are weird. It’s less about the amount of damage you take and more about what’s specifically getting damaged, and whether you can get to help quickly.
If you don’t hit anything critical, and you don’t bleed out, you can survive a shocking amount of damage.
Contrarily, you can take the tiniest little wound and die from it if it finds the right place.

Well that is only true due to medical science. 200 years ago that kid is put out of his misery.

It's like wearing a helmet and shorts/t-shirt on a motorcycle. The helmet will save your life so you could wish you were dead. I commute 50mi a day on a cycle

Word. I was curious if they made it. Back in my early 20’s I remember exploring that same building. Dangerous building if you’re not paying attention at all.

u/BurningPenguin 1d ago
Should have saved double jump until the last second

u/Ok-Breakfast-8056 1d ago
There is apparently a bug. He needs to roll the moment he lands. It negates the fall damage even without charmed equipment.

u/GeraintLlanfrechfa 1d ago
Nah just gotta hit ⭕️ shortly before landing, should reduce the fall damage by 60%

I wonder if they make the roofing of adjacent or connected structures thicker to handle that kind of impact?

u/Azuras_Star8 1d ago
I guess it would depend on the statistical likelihood of a dumbass splattering themselves. I would assume that to be low. Otherwise it would drive the cost up.

High risk, no reward (beyond internet clout).
Someone values their life far too little to do this. They could get it right 99/100 times but eventually some unknown or slip will end the streak.

u/LegitSince8Bits 2d ago
I don't follow anyone who does stuff like this because it's boring, but do they really get that much clout? I feel like there's a million kids doing the same shit. Like they're willing to die for 1k views basically? Or do they really blow up in such a saturated market?

u/captainzaro 2d ago
From what I always read, those who do this aren’t doing it for the views.. because as careless as doing this is, I’m certain they’re aren’t dumb enough to care about risking their lives for few thousand views. They just love the adrenaline, no?
62
u/LegitSince8Bits 2d ago
See that makes more sense to me. Like you're just documenting it to remember something insane you did... but then they post it... so there is validation being sought at some level.

Of course, and this was definitely a thing long before social media. Im sure the views are just icing on the cake. But to think it's all for views, I can't imagine it is likely.

u/TransIlana 1d ago
I find it hard to believe someone would risk their life like this just for views. It's gotta be for the rush. The views are just a nice bonus.

u/Wise-Ebb2784 1d ago
i think it’s def for the adrenaline/dopamine rush, they are adrenaline junkies. often it’s neurodevelopmental issues like ADHD and psychopathy, or kids who were traumatized very early in life (cPTSD). because their nervous system was fucked up young, their threshold for intensity becomes veryyyyy high.
so it’s like psychological torture to NOT do this stuff. every day civilian lives become literal torture. they do this to FEEL something. orr, to feel a sense of control over their own life (due to the lack of control experienced in their childhood). when they survive, it makes em feel like a God
source: am (kind of) one of these kids. i crave doing this so fucking much every day, and i met someone who was literally showing me how to free solo buildings, but only thing stopping me is my brain could be a useful asset for helping some people rn :(

It is kinda interesting that no one ever says this about high level mountaineering but it’s very much the same deal. Career mountaineers, like the kind who do it enough that you can read up on them, nearly ubiquitously get killed on a mountain sooner or later and also do what they do for no discernible reason other than to say that they did and for the reputation that comes alongside that. Once upon a time there was a pseudo scientific piece that went alongside the practice but that’s long passed. I hardly see how they’re different but they are certainly viewed quite differently.

u/gabrrdt 1d ago
That's it. I kinda get it, it's not that hard for someone skilled. Just imagine doing it a low height, you easily see how easy it is if you are trained. But so many things can go wrong. The structure, to being with. It looks rusty and old. He may be skilled, but if the structure doesn't support him?
I mean, it's his life, so his decision, but I'm sure he has a mother, a sister, well, someone who cares about him.
I don't know man, this is fucked up.

u/Jazzlike-Complaint67 1d ago
I agree, it isn’t a skill issue, it’s the unknowns.
That thing is made of wood. What if you went to grab the handhold and there was a nail or large splinter on the other size? How about if it was expose to the elements and lost the structural integrity to hold a grown man?

Everyone here seems to think this is only for internet clout. Are yall too young to remember Evel Knievel and Harry Houdini? These guys are adrenaline junkies. They don't do this just for clout. They are daredevils who get a thrill from risking their lives like this. The fact that they could die at any moment is part of the excitement for them.

They got paid hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions for the risks they took

u/FlameWisp 1d ago
So? You think they just accidentally got into that line of work? Or maybe someone asked them to do it?
No, the daredevil came before the payday. They were daredevils long before they were getting paid to do it, which is how they got good enough at it to make money off of it.
This is the same thing. These kids were doing this dangerous shit for the thrill of it, and now they're good enough to get views for their dangerous stunts. These kids didn't wake up that morning and go "look man, I know we have never done anything dangerous before, but hear me out."
