47% of old people jump to their deaths every year

And one hundred percent of those jumpers die after passing by a perfectly safe lower floor.

Many of these facts would surprise people.

LoL!!!! 47% of old people jumping to their deaths every year means there would be bodies flying everywhere. Haven’t seen that film at 11!

47%??? That is about 1 in 2 of old people jump to their death. So for every old person you know, about half will end up jumping to their death.

I’ve never knew anyone to jump to their death in their old age so your statistics should be higher. :O)

I think you're confusing "jumping" with "complications from falling", IMHO.

(I got two octogenarian parents still moving).

Hmm, falling from 15 to 8. For younger types, that's on the cusp of all but guaranteeing death.

For suiciding, a minimum of an 8 story fall is recommended.
