Today I spoke to my traumatologist and among other things we talked about jumps. He assured me that from the 5th floor up, death is 99% guaranteed if the ground is asphalt, tiles or any other material that is hard on impact.

I would take that with a grain of salt because it also depends on your position when hitting the ground. Hitting legs first may be survivable but with severe injury. Hitting head first is optimal, certain death and probably no time to feel pain.

I don't know if that's accurate, 5 floors? Also, I've never heard of a traumatologist. Could you elaborate on that if it isn't too personal?

Traumatology is the branch of medicine that studies the effects of sudden and violent harmful events that cause damage to the various systems of the organism. Traumatology also deals with studying the methods and techniques of intervention to restore the integrity of the organism itself.

I was struck by his certainty. In fact I was amazed and wanted to discuss it in this group. 5 floors are not many. Hm...

Yes, he told me that from the fifth floor up, death is practically certain.

I was researching because my only option is 9th floor that is 26 meters. Most people say its to risky. In fact there is a survivor that jumped from 25 meters and survived, and posted after 5 months still in hospital.
So if I jump I'll try to hit head first.

Is it someone you've read about in the newspapers, or do you know them? However, if you have time you can choose something safer, don't you have other accessible buildings?

I've read about it here at SanSui. Cant remember what thread that was.
I cant find another accessible building. My only other option would be finding a hotel but that would be to much trouble and require research, getting a room at a high floor, find out if i can open the window in the room, find out where I land, to much research.

This page has some statistics on mortality from high falls:

Fall height

This data shows around 25% survival rate from the 5th floor, so that's clearly not high enough for certain death.

There weren't any surviors above the 8th floor in this study, but the sample size isn't large enough to draw very strong conclusions about the death rate at that height. Especially when failure to die would be particularly excruciating and likely to leave long-term consequences like paralysis.

Here's a person who survived falling from 300 feet / 90 meters:

She survived by landing on both feet, I don't think there's any other way to survive a fall from such heights.
