I removed the "fact" about a cat's chances of surviving a fall because it is very suspect and the source cited is clearly not authoritative. PressAnyKey 06:23, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
The section on falls from buildings seems ridiculous to me and I think it should be removed. It lists the rough probabilities of being injured/dying when falling from certain heights, but only cites individual cases and not any studies or real scientific estimates. It's very misleading and unnecessary. Jeremy Peter Green 03:41, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
What about "falling" asleep? "Falling" ill? ect. there should be a note somewhere either mentioning these instances or noting that this article is not about them —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.96.171.147 (talk) 17:43, August 20, 2007 (UTC)
If anyone wants this back in.....here it is:
[1][2] Around the fifth floor, falls start to become fatal, as there are reports of injuries resulting -- most non-fatal falls occur when the person lands on something (i.e. third floor balcony, etc.) and most fatal falls occur when the fall (usually of an infant or child) is directly to the ground[3] [4] [5] [6]. Eighth floor level falls are usually fatal unless cushioned during the fall[7][8][9]. Falls from at and above the tenth floor of a building are almost always fatal[10][11][12].
