To: a fool in paradise

Six floors might be too high for a “net” or cushion?

Would even a professional stung man try it from that height?

Dar Robinson holds the record:

At 220 feet, the stunt from Atlanta’s Hyatt Regency Hotel (doubling for the Westin Peachtree Plaza) in the 1981 Burt Reynolds film Sharky’s Machine still holds up as the highest free-fall stunt ever performed from a building for a commercially released film.

its all about the landing

people die falling off step ladders

she is very fortunate to have landed not on organs, rupturing them and bleeding out

or on her head/neck, ditto

breaking both legs, shes still losing a lot of blood, but her internals and brain are not damaged to cause quick death
