8+ floors at least. Most major american cities have them, though heavily guarded since they don't want anyone on the rooftop.

I always wondered about the state of your corpse after you fall down

As far as I've seen the body doesn't "squash into a pancake" as I thought it should. Bones and joints will absorb the impact and twist/break, so you'll be a jumbled bag with arms, legs and neck bent at weird angles, and blood/open wound only where you first hit the ground.

If you are not high enough you will just be horribly injured and in a worse state.
So …plan it.
Don't leap from any floor that isn't in double figures.
1O and above all the way up and all the way down.
High enough and its lethal.

Floor count isn't all that matters, but also how and where you land. To die securely you must land on your head. If you land on something else, risk of survival increases by a lot. Landing on something soft like grass also matters, you need a hard surface like asphalt or concrete. It's strange how much of a difference even a little bit of cushioning makes.
