she’s lucky the grass was super luscious, truly that looks like the perfect grass, also she landed flat which distributed her weight evenly, honestly kind of an ideal scenario for her in that situation, 13th floor is insane though..— DersButlet (@ButletDers ) July 20, 2024
Sharing a similar theory another person wrote, “The probability for her to die was higher than that of surviving. A game of inches ladies and gents. If she landed head first she would die instantly. She hit the ground flat with her whole body. Maybe one of the main reasons she survived.”

The details surrounding the woman’s fall and her exact medical condition, including any potential internal injuries, remain unclear. Typically, the height of each building floor is about 14 feet, making a 14th floor approximately 180 feet tall. Dr. Demetrios Demetriades, a professor of surgery at the Kerk School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, discussed the likelihood of surviving such falls with Live Science. He noted, “If someone falls more than 60 feet, this is usually lethal, and it is extremely unlikely, or a miracle if a patient falls from higher than 80 feet and survives.”
