base jumper documents his final jump

a five second fall - jump to impact.

This is approximately 122.5 meters in height.

The final velocity of the person is 49 meters per second, which is equivalent to 176 kilometers per hour.

If a person hits concrete at 176 Kmh after a long fall, what happens to them?

An impact with concrete at \(176\) km/h (\(49\) m/s) is virtually always fatal, as it subjects the human body to forces and deceleration far beyond its biological tolerance. 

Immediate Physical Effects 

When a body hitting a rigid surface like concrete stops almost instantaneously, the kinetic energy is transferred directly back into the body, causing catastrophic failure: 

Total Skeletal Failure:

The sudden deceleration typically results in widespread, multiple compound fractures across the entire skeleton, often pulverizing long bones and the pelvis.

Organ Pulverization:

Internal organs (heart, lungs, liver, spleen) are subject to intense vibration and displacement, often rupturing or being "shredded" by the force of impact.

Craniocerebral Trauma:

Severe skull fractures and brain injuries are the primary cause of death in high-velocity falls.

Internal Deceleration:

Even if the skin remains intact, internal organs continue moving forward at 176 km/h until they slam into the ribs or skull, leading to immediate functional failure. 

Survivability 

An impact with a rigid surface like concrete at such a high speed is considered non-survivable. The forces involved exceed the limits of human tolerance. Understanding Impact Hitting a surface like concrete at a high velocity results in extreme deceleration in a very short period.

This rapid change in speed generates immense forces.

will giving him a glass of coca cola help?

No, giving a person a glass of Coca-Cola after such a high-velocity impact will not help and may actually be harmful.


It says in the advertising that "Coke adds life".

While "Coke adds life" was indeed a popular advertising slogan for Coca-Cola introduced in
1976, it is a marketing theme meant to associate the beverage with vitality, social connection, and enjoyment in everyday life.
In a severe medical emergency like the one described, it has no literal or physiological truth. Applying it to someone who has just impacted concrete at 176 km/h is highly dangerous for several reasons:


If he is totally dead and splattered, why call it a medical emergency.

Well and on and on and on the Ai goes - where it stops nobody knows.

For a solo skydiver, the airspeed required to safely and effectively deploy a parachute typically falls within the following metric ranges:
Average Deployment Speed: 129 to 161 km/h (approx. 80–100 mph).
Terminal Velocity (Standard): Skydivers typically reach a terminal velocity of 193 to 225 km/h (120–140 mph) in a belly-to-earth orientation before deploying.

Deployment Altitudes: Licensed solo skydivers (e.g., USPA D-license) are required to deploy their main parachute by 610 meters (2,000 feet) to ensure sufficient time for the canopy to fully inflate, which typically takes 183 to 366 meters (600–1,200 feet) of travel.

1 stupid step for Idiocracy, 1 giant leap for darwin greatness.

play stupid games...

Yeah the drouge chute didn't seem to catch much air and the main chute didn't pull out.....

Perhaps the calculations were wrong - like the drouge needed like 300 Kmh to grab air and pull out the main chute or perhaps the main chute was stuck enough to not pull out...

With NO time to fix anything on the way down, one must be testing and setting it all up, to absolutely MUST work....

Also he would have been better tethering his main chute to something on the building, because there is NO room for mistakes or recovery on a jump that close to the ground......
