Is this a plan?: It's all a matter of degree. How hard? Landing on what? Direction of force vector. Pre-existing brain problems. Neck injuries or established disorders which might get magnified by such a fall? The range of results is therefor huge: from nothing at all to death.Nif you are pursuing some risky sporting activity, you should strongly consider wearing a helmet.
