Default Re: What if you fell 30 ft?

me and one of my friends used to have "ninja practice" on campus at night. it involved climbing into buildings through open windows and screwing around with janitors. we used to jump some pretty high hieghts in order to avoid detection. I'm guessing the farthest I ever fell was about 20 feet onto very padded ground. I haven't really been trained in it, but my instinct says you have to gather some forward momentum and roll onto your shoulder when you hit the ground. I've jumped off of second floor porches this way and haven't broken anything, so I'm guessing it is something close to correct.

by the way, wouldn't the 3rd story be closer to 20-25 feet? 1st floor: 0-5 feet, 2nd floor: +10, 3rd floor: +another 10...
