The man who plunged nine stories from a New Jersey high-rise and landed on a BMW has recovered from injuries and was released from a hospital, a city rep told The Post Friday.
The 31-year-old — who smashed through the roof of a black BMW 330i parked below 26 Journal Square in Jersey City when he jumped — had been in critical condition in the days after his dramatic fall on Oct. 6.
But despite a mangled right arm, possible internal injuries and bloody gashes on his head, the guy left a treatment center in mid-December, said Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione, a spokeswoman for Jersey City.
“The man survived and was released from the hospital last month,” she said of the still-unidentified man. The federal health privacy law HIPAA prevented her from going into more detail about his current condition, she said.

“I heard a big boom and I didn’t think it was a person at first,” Christina Smith, 21, who shot footage of the aftermath. “The back window of the car just busted out — exploded. Then the guy jumped up and started screaming. His arm was all twisted.”
Video she filmed shows the jumper — who didn’t work inside the building, and later said he “wanted to die” — screaming in pain with upper body injuries, and a face mask strap still dangling from his ear.

Update to your 10-07-2021 thread.5
Well, he wanted to did. You gonna interferes with his dreams?
“31-year-old man who plunged 9 stories, landed on BMW in NJ released from hospital”
there’s gotta be a TV ad in there somewhere for BMW ...
The government’s been experimenting with pig-men since the 50s!!
Potato salad!
Around 1200 feet. That’s less than the distance of a 12-second fall in a vacuum, but remember that terminal velocity is when the deceleration due to air resistance equals the acceleration due to gravity.
Thank you.
The best BMW to buy is the one that’s under warranty
The lesson learned: Make it headfirst.
What help could he have offered? I'd be inclined to call 911 and insist that the injured party stay put and await emergency services.
That’s an improvement over “wait! Don’t move...I wanna put this on Instagram before you die...”
I guess all makes have issues

Irrelevant.
“Irrelevant”
Yes, your right....fords usually are.
“Yes, your right....fords usually are.”
You are playing on emotion without regard to the facts.
22 straight years of Mustang; no out-of pocket repairs.
20 straight years of Toyota/Lexus; no repairs
And you apparently always need to have the last word which is a sure sign of an egomaniac....no wonder your divorced.
Go ahead and respond and prove me right. Lol.
“And you apparently always need to have the last word which is a sure sign of an egomaniac....no wonder your divorced.
Had to note your idiotic post.
Happily married.
You’re, not your.
Bad attempt to get on the last word.
Thanks for proving my point
