<p>A little grim this but I was discussing <a href="https://outdoors.stackexchange.com/questions/8126/bouldering-vs-aid-climbing-vs-free-climbing-vs-free-solo-climbing">free soloing</a> with a non-climber in work and I said</p> <blockquote> <p>"Well once you get over a certain height you're not going to survive a fall anyway so anything over this doesn't really make much of a difference."</p> </blockquote> <p>... which got me thinking, how high is too high? </p> <p>I'd guess it's reasonably low. So does anyone have any <strong>empirical evidence</strong> of how high a fall a human being can fall and survive (though not necessarily walk away from)?</p>
