Not the best camera panning by the videographer, but tolerable.

If you’re going to do this at least have the decency to lose a few pounds before launching yourself into oblivion

From the 15th floor, dropping at that speed, and doing a dead stop—literally—in less than a fraction of a second, I reckon his pain circuitry/brain cannot even fully register much of anything (if anything at all)—let alone processing a single smidgen or smattering of an infinitesimal fraction of anything possibly resembling a coherent thought.

But "changing his mind?"

Regret?

Philosophizing?

—Not with any working physics and the gravitational field on 'this' particular planet, my friend—but not entirely impossible elsewhere in the Milky Way galaxy—the Moon perhaps?

One would think the first thing a person does after the jump is to try grasping something to hold one to, but realizing they're grabbing at air, then thud, sometimes a bounce or two. I shudder to think what would have happened if he'd landed on that pointed rock? Maybe he'd still die???

I still remember on a medical tv program, a guy was brought in, after jumping from a bridge into the water. He was still alive but had a ton of internal injuries.
The Dr said something like, when you jump into water, the impact is like falling on cement.

I never knew that.

Yes. People that have jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge but survived all stated that they had immense regret the moment they began to fall.
