There's no window within 50ft of where I work and no window in the building can be opened. Besides the fact that I work on the 1st floor. I think I would survive.

My bedroom is on the second floor of my house but theres a roof right outside it. There would be a total of a 1ft drop, a bunch of rolling (down the roof) and then a 8ft drop. I think I would survive that too.
 
2nd of my apartment, but i'd land on a roof over a porch...then could jump from that to the ground. Die? no. Break something? maybe.
 
Jumping out a window has never killed me before, so I think I'd be fine.

what's the highest thing anyone has ever jumped from? we used to jump off a nearby bridge which was about 50' above the water. pretty fun.

Not sure offhand; the highfall bag I have is rated for a seventy-foot fall, but I've never done anything quite that high myself.

For practice, we usually put a scissor lift in front of my house and jump off that. How high depends on how much we feel like spending on scissor lift rental.
 
3rd floor, home. About a good 30 feet to the floor. I think I could survive with a few broken bones that is if I don't land on my head.
