It was something I heard in a documentary on the Golden Gate Bridge. In the seventy-one years that people have been jumping off it, only 26 have been known to survive, and most of them died from the injuries later. Of course the jump off that bridge is 245 feet, but 100 is enough to reach a falling speed of 60 mph.

I’m not 100% certain, but an uncontrolled fall of 100 feet into water is probably fatal.

Runar - it is never fatal - reference Acme poster “boy” Wiley Coyote.

As my old man used to say, “It’s not the fall that’ll kill you, it’s the sudden stop at the bottom.”

Oh, and it’s “Wile E. Coyote.”

Warner Bros., eat yer heart out! I love Leslie & Ralph. His pose in the 4th panel is a classic. Look out, Mt. Rushmore!
