I read somewhere that the few survivors from such falls usually had the same thought as they stepped-off:
“I wish I hadn’t done that.”

I was listening to just such a survivor on KABC radio. He said that he regretted his decision as soon as he jumped. Hitting the water was like hitting concrete and he suffered all sorts of internal injuries. Really spooky and he’s extremely lucky to have survived. The guy suffered from bipolar depression and still does, but now he’s thankful for every day of life.

In the documentary “The Bridge” an expert explains that those who survived went in feet first and at a slight angle.
