You probably don't want the people at work knowing you checked this out.

A valuable lesson on the importance of checking one's assumptions.

P.S. If easily disturbed give this one a pass...

That dumbass was dead even if the rope was short enough.

As far as I'm concerned, that's Darwinism at it's best. Strengthens the gene pool. Bleedin' moron.

Either that or he'd decelerate so quickly he would probably die. The rope looked like it was a standard rope with no give in it.

That's if he stayed attached to the rope.

A feel bad for laughing at a guy dying, but that was just so incredibly stupid.

I'm pretty sure it is an urban legend, though I can't find it on Snopes.

This wasn't actual video of the guy dying...it was a poorly done "re-creation".

That's what I'm thinking. The shots of them drinking beer so conspicuously just smacks of afterschool special. "They were drinking alcohol!!! Dangerous!!! Bad!

Looked like actors.

Now that you mention it looks like one of those types of videos. The beer bottles with no labels, and I thought I heard music. Where the hell was that coming from?

Well, if this was supposed to educate people on the proper technique of jumping off a building, then the film makers are idiots.

this is exactly what i thought when i saw the beer.

i dont get it, even if the rope had been the right length the guys legs still would have been pulled off. i can see people being stupid enough to mess up on the 13th floor bit, but not on thinking a plain rope would actually hold them. im having a hard time believing its real.
