Quote:I'm talking about a serious cliff. You'd fall as fast as terminal velocity would let you, and as far as the ground lets you. A train is actually less certain because if you jump wrong, trip, jump to early, or jump to late you could just end up getting your legs run over or something painful like that.
Yeah, that's right. But for example, if you WERE to do it via a train, you could assume any of these positions:
facing away from the train with your spine curved, so the train directly impacts your spin and snaps it.
or, face the train headfirst and slightly ben, so your back is curved and you are looking at the tracks. I assume the train would hit you headfirst and if your skull didn't shatter, your neck would at least snap.
