+343 If you think about it, when someone says that jumping from a certain height into water is the same as hitting concrete it could go both ways. "Dude, the helicopters gonna crash into that building, we have to bail!" "Are you crazy! We must be 500 feet up!" "Relax dude, from this height, it's the same as hitting water." Amirite?

There's actually a procedure when a helicopter is going down that saves the passengers and pilot. They shut down the engine and go into a controlled spiral until they're close to the ground and hit the engine to give them a boost upwards so the impact isn't as bad. So there.

What does that have to do with hitting water or concrete after jumping from somewhere high up?

Point is, they won't really die.

Except that the helicopter isn't falling down about to crash into the ground. Its about to hit a building

If the building is below the helicopter, its still pretty relevant.

I heard somewhere that if you throw something to break the water first, the impact won't be as much
