If a man gets trained to jump uninjured from heights incrementing meter by meter....

[Braznor]

Do you think it is ever possible he can fall from an height of 20-30 meters and survive?

Lets say he has ten years to get trained and all the drugs and treatments to mitigate the side effects of this training. All he has to do is practice the jump day by day gradually increasing the height for a period of ten years. Is it possible for him to achieve even an impossible fifty meters?

I would not want to be the guy who has to examine his knees and spine.

 

[Red Squirrel]

My guess is no. Over time he'd probably get damage, and suddenly something would break and it would be over and he could not jump anymore.

 

[SlitheryDee]

If you bend a glass mirror very slowly, could you fold it in half without it breaking?

 

[Doppel]

People have survived falls from MUCH higher than 30 meters, so yes.

Of course, but only if he unlocks that knowledge and gains the perk to defy gravity.

You belong in that other retard thread as the world and America continue its steady march into a new self-imposed dark age.

there are physical limits you know.

Sure, onto a soft surface with parachute landing fall technique, I could see surviving 20-30 meter fall. There is a guy I've seen on TV doing bellyflops into 1foot of water from 10-15 meters up, so yours sounds reasonable.

There are people who hit the ground at over 100 mph and lived, even those in a free fall from a plane.

 

[SaDiZTiKStyLeZ]

Give it a shot. Inform us on how it goes.

 

[JimmiG]

Once you get above a couple of meters, the technique is probably the same regardless of the height. Someone who has trained would have a greater chance of surviving, but there are limits to what the human body can take.

my level 36 monk could so do this.

I think you could. It would be very slow, and take a long time. Have you heard of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_drop_experiment

And the first place he goes into after the jump? Shop4Ballers. lol.

Holmes' harrowing escape from death, desperate farewell, wave goodbye and hard landing in a blackberry bush were captured by the helmet-mounted cameras he and fellow skydiving instructor Jonathan King donned Dec. 13 before jumping from a plane at 14,000 feet — more than two miles up.

Where's the video? MSNBC is useless.

not applicable to a mirror. It's structure would not allow folding by itself, no matter how slow.

This is because glass is not a highly viscus liquid.

 

[Puppies04]

OP you are asking 2 distinct questions and one of them has required variables missing to even start to answer it

1.

Do you think it is ever possible he can fall from an height of 20-30 meters and survive?

2.

Lets say he has ten years to get trained and all the drugs and treatments to mitigate the side effects of this training. All he has to do is practice the jump day by day gradually increasing the height for a period of ten years.

Can you fall from a great height and survive?

Yes if you are lucky.

Does this have anything to do with being able to train yourself to repeatedly jump from 20-30 meters and not kill yourself?

Well that all depends on what the landing surface is made of. If it was a big inflated cushion like the fire brigade use for people jumping out of burning buildings then he could do it every time. If it was concrete I am pretty sure the answer is no although if he was wearing 100 sweaters and 100 pairs of jogging pants as well as a neckbrace, and crash helmet the answer would probably be yes.

TL ; DR Make your mind up what question you are asking OP and provide some bloody information

 

[alkemyst]

This is because glass is not a highly viscus liquid.

They don't say that though. They say it's possible to refer to it as such.

a mirror is also usually tempered.

In reference to the pitch-drop experiment the link I provided does investigate and make explicit that such liquid-like changing of shape does not happen.
