When I was a child, age 5 or 6, I fell 3 meters off a sandcliff onto some more sand.
Only thing I remember is laying there, staying into the distance, and then bam suddenly I'm at home sleeping.
No idea what happened in-between.
I remember when they were building 2nd floor of my house as a kid, that I missed the spot and fell down 4-5ish meters to the basement.
I was literally less than one meter away to getting impaled by construction wires.
But at that time, I was scared of my parents yelling at me so I was just shrugging it off saying I was okay. :v:
This summer I fell down like 12 ft in a dark in a monastery, probably the most scary fall of my life, because you can't see your fall, it could be 12 ft, 2 ft, 100 ft, you don't know and it scared the shit outta me...

I would imagine that. Damn.
I was pretty lucky, there was nothing on the ground, I cut a little bit my fingers when I tried to grip something...

I fell from somewhere up there. I don't know where exactly. The picture is just one I found on Google.[/QUOTE]
Good Lord! 3 meters is a [i]lot[/i] longer than it seems!
I can see where you would have rolled, too (it doesn't look pretty).
Glad you're mostly alright.

Thank you very much. I don't know if that picture shows exactly where it happened, since it is a picture that I found on Google, and the valley is longer than that. Still, it was around that place. Again, thanks.
I once fell off a sofa
My friend fell from a tree when he was young and hit his head to a rock. His arm broke and I bet his skull broke too but he recovered from that totally.
[QUOTE=CHRHN;32353769]That's because you're just sitting in your chair, imagining it. If you actually were 6 meters up in the air, I don't think that you would want to jump down from there. It's the same height as 2-3 floors. The next time you're 2-3 floors up in the air, imagine that you would jump down from there. It's a pretty long way down.
[editline]18th September 2011[/editline] yeah sorta, i was outta my mind on morphine for about 3 weeks while i was in hospital though, had major depression for a month after when i got home due to comedown from the pain killers. me and my friend were the only 2 people to ever survive that particular drop, il try get a pic of the cliff soon and il post it right up here
Damn. That had might been even worse. Do you remember how you felt the days after it happened?[/QUOTE]
Okay man. Because I think that I might be having a depression too. I don't know why. Is it normal after something like this happens?
[QUOTE=CHRHN;32360410]Okay man. Because I think that I might be depressed too. I don't know why. But everything is just shit. Nothing is funny. Nothing is sad. Time is walking by slowly... I have nothing to do. :([/QUOTE]
Just think of the ninja tuna dude. He will guide you through.
This reminded me of Deus Ex Human Revolution when I died from a 1cm fall.
I fell about 3 meters from a tree once
I didnt even break anything
... although i was a few centimeters from landing on my nuts

Stuff like this always kind of changes your outlook on life and it can depress you, I know after I got into my wreck I felt weird. I felt sad because I might never like riding snowmobiles again. Sometimes a good knock to the head can do some damage, Richard Hammond had the same problem after he wrecked that jet dragster.
Keep your head up man and just worry about healing, keep yourself entertained with movies and such.
Ouch, I've fallen just less than half that hight onto my back, I'd say I'm very lucky as I had no injuries from that.
V^2 = 0 + 2g(6m)
V^2 = 117.6m^2/s^2
V = 10.84m/s
OP, you hit the ground at ten meters per second and lived. That is pretty badass.

He didn't free-fall all 6 meters though, only the last 3.

yeah it totally is but its really given me an apreciation of life afterwards, i used to be a total arsehole but i made an effort to make everybody else feel good afterwards, i rarely feel unhappy now so youll robs feel better soon, just think that you were nearly dead once and how much of a plesure it is to be alive again.

Yeah. You really begin to appreciate life after something like this.

It was a dream all along.

Whoops, you're right. Still, probably at least 5m/s, which is still one hell of an impact.
I read it as 6 feet for some reason. America has corrupted my mind.

Probably a little more, since I also gained speed by rolling down the cliff. But we could calculate on that forever.
I fell out a realllyyy high tree once, i tucked on the way down, landed a frontflip perfectly on my feet and freaked everyone the fuck out (who all assumed i was just gonna hit the ground and get impaled on something or some shit) felt like a boss that day :D
Me and some friends were climbing up boulders and stuff on a field trip in the Alps when I slipped and fell 3 metres before landing on my back. One of my friends tried to grab me as I fell, he didn't catch me but he managed to slow my fall, as did my arms as they scraped along surrounding boulders.
I was lucky I wasn't hurt apart from some scrapes on my hands and being in shock for a while. I still maintain that if my friend hadn't slowed my fall I would have broken my back or worse
Here is an MS Paint pic to illustrate

once flipped over my handlebars of my bike when i was 5 and landed on my face, if i wasn't wearing a helmet i could have broke my neck but instead it just rolled me over my head. my face got fucked up though (but is fine now :v:)

Koepcke found a Christmas cake (which was inedible) and some sweets which were to become her only food on her trip. After looking for her mother and other passengers, she was soon able to locate a small stream. She then waded through knee-high water downstream from her landing site, relying on the survival principle her father had taught her that tracking downstream should eventually lead to civilization.[2] The stream also provided clean water and a natural path through the dense rainforest vegetation. After nine days, she found a canoe and a nearby shelter, where she waited.[2] Hours later, the lumbermen who resided in the shelter arrived and tended to her injuries and bug infestations. The next morning they took her via a seven-hour canoe ride down the river to a lumber station in the Tournavista District. With the help of a local pilot, she was airlifted to a hospital – and her waiting father – in Pucallpa.

I think she's more amazing. She had to track down her way in a bloody rainforest.

Very loosely related plane crash survivors, eh?

I think this guy is a lot more impressive, he managed to survive on an island for several years before being rescued.
