What happens if you jump down from a 5 story building and...

[ManSnake]

you land on your feet standing up. Would you break your legs?

And then some.

Your kneecaps would shoot straight up into your brain!

 

[swtethan]

You would likely die.

 

[ManSnake]

What about those free running guys you see in those building hopping videos? They certainly didn't die from those jumps.

[aircooled]

if you start running in the air you will hit the ground running.

Yes, they do, and they also don't jump from higher than about 2 stories.

You will break your legs if you jump 20-30 feet. A five story building is about 65 feet high. Any one who jumps from this height would die. At the very least you will not be able to speak for a few days.
