Curious as to what would happen if I perfectly time it. Would I be safe? Lets say the building is 4 stories high
In: Physics
So your example is problematic because a four story fall is not a guaranteed death sentence. Plenty of people have survived falls from that height, hell we’ve had several people jump from the upper deck or fifth floor, parking garage at the airport. I used to work at and some of them survived although for how long I don’t know.
That said jumping would accomplish nothing. You’d still be moving toward the ground because of gravity, your legs aren’t strong enough to come anywhere close to matching your speed of descent. Even if you did, somehow managed to time it perfectly you would hit the ground going basically as fast as you would have doing nothing.
Trying to jump off and go horizontal would either resulting you going nowhere or are you going a very small distance but still accelerating toward the ground at the same rate you were.
