Re: Man Jumps to His Death
To be honest you would have thought the 2nd 3rd and 4th jumper would have not jumped after watching the first jumper go. I would have thought that the other jumpers were watching him go and see him bounce off the floor.

Re: Man Jumps to His Death
That's one really bad thing about building fires, that awful choice of too-slowly and very painfully burning alive, or... going quickly with the fatal sudden impact following a high jump. Seems like a hard choice... until one finds one's self in that very same kind of terrible situation  Me- I'd rather go much more instantly.

Re: Man Jumps to His Death
He should have aimed for the basket at the top of the fire engines ladder that would have reduced the height of the fall substantially & he may well have made it there before reaching terminal velocity.
