Why didn't sarah position herself?
In hollyoaks.
It was a good scene but I was suprised that she didn't position herself for the impact. At least lifting your legs up and getting into a cover position. There was enough air behind her. Then again if that happened she may have survived so I guess it was intentional. Just a bit of an odd thing.

It would have probally killed her anyway. I guess when your falling like that you can't really regain control of your body and the shear fear takes away any rational thinking away, so she would not of even thought of how to survive.

She wouldn't have survived the fall regardless of how she positioned herself, he was falling to the ground at and incredibly fast speed and from a very big height no one would survive it unless she hit something to break her fall - like a tree - plus she was probably in a panic it would happen so quick i doubt you would have time to even think about what you were doing.

To be fair, nobody could survive that. Nobody, unless she suddenly flew away. Maybe if she would have landed in water, she could have survived, the but the impact would have probably knocked her out and killed her anyway. I don't see how changing her position would have helped her. She would probably still have broken every bone in her body.

They wanted to kill her off also. In reality though only a few people have survived a fall like that without something breaking their fall and a few more hitting things on the way down breaking falls.. Quote:

It is meant to be better to land on your back. |

It is incredibly rare under any circumstances that anyone would survive such a fall from a great height that there has only been a few recorded case of a person surviving a parachute drop from high altitude, and they all suffered injuries, and even then they survives as they had something to break their fall, slowing them down.

I think only one person has survived without a fall breaker. The rest have landed in tree branches, grass heeps, snow. Or grabbed plane debry or another passenger.

Yes, because when your hurtling towards terra firma, seconds away from death, or - at the very least, permanant paralysis and spinal damage, your completely rational.

After recently doing a sky dive (before Sarah's fatal one, thank goodness!) I was told that when sky divers know that their parachute isn't going to open, they very often die midair, of a heart attack, I'm guessing!

Yeah but Sarah screamed all the way down right down to that thud
I would have imagined shock alone would have killed her so I don't know whether it was correct to her screaming all the way down.

I know this is off-topic but I was recently in New York visiting Ground Zero. We were talking to people who work there, people who knew all the stories about 9/11. The subject came onto the people who jumped from the buildings and we thought the shock would probably kill them before they hit the ground - we were told that's not the case.
As it's been mentioned in this thread, there have been a few cases of people surviving these accidents, only because they've had something that's broken their fall. Why didn't shock kill them? As scary as it all is, they probably live right up to the second of impact.

Actually you won't die in mid air because as with falling out of a plane you pass out, for the first thousand feet. But then you regain conciousness, you can't control that. The air pressure actually keeps you breathing but only a little bit, untill you reach your terminal velocity and at this point all the air is available again just before the ten seconds and more before impact. You'd be shaken, and when you approach the ground you are going faster but more air is available, so you are going to sense the decent to the ground a lot more.

I've watched it again *shudder*. I noticed that she's falling much faster than I thought she was and that she appears to hit the ground on her front.
Also the blood. I wonder why they didn't show the body. They did not hold back on everything else...... You can really feel that scene. Its horrifying. |

It probably is the best death scene there has been in a soap. It felt like a real death.
It will probably be censored at the soap awards unfortunately. |

Agreed. She would never have survived it anyhow.
And i don't think they needed to show the body and i don't think i'd have particularly wanted them to! Gross! |
