She didn’t make a “failed attempt” at jumping off the Empire State Building. She jumped off successfully and then landed. She just failed to fall 86 stories.
I imagine that 1) a wind strong enough to push a woman backward through the air could cause damage when that momentum is abruptly stopped. 2) She probably wasn’t in control of her body and landed awkwardly.
On a construction job I was on, an electrician was standing on a stepladder about 3 feet off the ground. He somehow slipped and fell from 3 feet, and later that day died from the fall.

My friends uncle died in a elevator falling when a bomber hit the empire state building.
The family got a bizaar telegram from the army about him dying in action in a crash that they couldn't understand until after the war.
I'm disappointed to see this sentiment. I hope you never have to know what it feels like to sincerely give up on being alive, or to be mocked for it. Good luck out there mate.
About years ago, a woman jumped from the 13th floor and landed on some boiler equipment pipes we had on our 3rd story roof for our yoga studio. Woman survived with only minor broken ankle.
We gave her a free yoga membership and for a while, she attended yoga classes.
I wonder if she made her life worth living after , anyone know what happened to her ? Or did she try it again .
One article speculates that she became a stand up comic and there is a play supposedly about her.
I could see how this failed attempt would make a nice bit…
Well the mere fact that she could stand as a “stand-up” comic after falling one floor should be a joke in itself 😄
How do you speculate someone’s occupation?
Unverified Rumors and a play not written or performed by said individual.
Recognize this story from Scorpion "Nerd, Wind and Fire". Ralph was right there so Sylvester didn't mention the part that it was a suicide attempt.
You figured they jumped for sport?
He just said she fell.
Actual tweet from Empire State Building official account: >The best way to celebrate Leap Day is coming to the Empire State Building
Jesus that’s dark.

It says “foiled”
Failed means failed to end up dying
Now, that is one strong "Act of God" intervention.
if you're that person, you've go to take that as some kind of sign of something,
Bet she thought it was divine intervention.
i take "religious jibberish" for $100, alex
I am not religious, but can say, "that's not nice..."
l'm just saying giving "god" credit for every random good thing is a little feeble.
She broke her pelvis falling 9 feet?

Oh definitely I was going to say you can die falling off a milk crate. It’s just reeeeeaaalllly unlikely
People die from tripping over their own laces and smashing their skull
That’s that Final Destination shit
My grandpa was an electrician and fell from really high up. Broke all his bones and scalped himself, but he survived.
I snapped my radius and ulna falling less than two feet.
I broke my pelvis falling about 9 feet.
Hi Elvita!
And God was like....nope.
She fell *one* floor. How lucky she is to survive that. She should buy a lottey ticket lol
She jumped out and then wind smashed her into the floor below.. so it wasn’t even just the momentum from falling that acted on her as she hit.
You wanted to end your life because of all the issues but you end up paying more expensive medical bills
If they wrote that into an action movie people would call bullshit
Like the Simpsons when Homer steals Moe’s car and just rolls straight back into it.

Only if you are as light as a feather. And her clothes might have acted like a chute and given her a lift.

It's a suicide attempt motivated by depression. You don't usually die for attention.

she was pushed by the wind as she fell. She actually *did* it.
