So. . . based on the quotes that you cite, I must conclude that we agree surviving falls of several hundred feet is by no means the rule in real life but, rather, the exception? No? I, in turn, acknowledge that my math may be incorrect (I guessed because this is a message forum not a college thesis or a grant proposal). It seems, however, that the larger picture is unaffected -- survivng from falls of more than 60 feet without injury is still an extremely rare event (merely not as rare as I had guessed). At any rate, could we possibly return to the topic at hand, instead of merely attempting to critique my math, despite the fact that it still correctly paints the situation as a very uncommon occurance (which, for the purposes of this topic, is all that matters)?</blockquote>
