Absolutely!! There's tons of suicide survivor stories out there. Here's a quote from one:

After heavy drinking and a horrible fight with his wife, Jones drove his pickup to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge to end his life. Right after Jones jumped he said he knew it was a big mistake. Jones described the jump as 'You just accelerate and accelerate so fast and then it stops, but when you stop you don’t feel like you hit water, you feel like you hit concrete'. The force of the impact ripped Jones’s clothes off."

Not sure if it's kosher for me to add the link?
Still, that's got to be THE WORST realization ever....on your way down

A woman survived a jump off the Golden Gate Bridge with injuries, and jumped again to kill herself weeks or months later. "At first if you don't succeed, try try again..."

Man Who Jumped From Center City Hotel Balcony Identified

BY JOHN KOPP

PhillyVoice Staff

The Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office has released the identity of a man who died Saturday after jumping from an Embassy Suites Hotel balcony in Center City.

Sean McGrellis, 37, of Williamstown, New Jersey, died of multiple blunt impact injuries, spokesman Jeff Moran said. Police confirmed that McGrellis' death was ruled a suicide.

McGrellis jumped from the 25th floor balcony of the hotel at 1776 Benjamin Franklin Parkway, as a crowd looked on. An eyewitness said McGrellis sat on the balcony railing before he jumped.

He was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:23 p.m. Saturday, police said. He did not leave a note.

McGrellis founded the JTM Organization in 2012, according to his LinkedIn page. The organization provides freelance musical services for churches, consultative services to higher education organizations and marketing and Internet research services to theatrical art organizations.

A business administration student at Colorado Technical University from 2007 to 2008, McGrellis studied music education at Rowan University from 1997 to 2000, according to his LinkedIn page. He attended Williamstown High School.

I had not heard this story.

The least he could have done was strap a gopro on him so we could have some first person hd footage

Good Lord. You'd think she'd take that as a miraculous *sign* that perhaps she was meant to live?! Tragic.

The guy recording was a huge contribute to the greatness of the video too. So sick. I don't know if I could have kept looking or held the camera on dude, it's hard even from behind this screen... that thud...
