How much snow has to be on the ground before you can safely jump out of a 2nd floor window?

If there is enough snow on the ground to make it safe by cushioning your fall it will also have the unforeseen side effect of covering obstacles like that bird bath under the window.
.
OUCH! I know whereof I speak…don’t do it!

It’s just grass under said window.

Are you planning on filming this jump for a Reality Show? don’t do it.

@john65pennington No.. I’m just snowed in. There’s about a 4 foot snow pile blocking our front door.

Depends on what kind of snow, and how much you weigh. And of course, how you land!

@stratman37 The white, fluffy kind. I’m about 103 pounds and landing… we’ll see.

It depends in the snow is packed or fluffy; too fluffy, you’ll go right through, too hard, you will stop too quickly. Four feet of thick but not packed snow seems reasonable.

How do you plan to get back in?

@johnpowell – There’s a trampoline somewhere under all that snow.

@johnpowell I’d go dig out our front door.

Girl, you mad thin
I feel like performing an experiment with some snow and a mannequin

Do you have any windows on the first story? The ones in bathrooms are usually pretty high.

@PretentiousArtist 5 foot 9. 103 pounds.

Umm. First story windows.. the bathroom ones are fake.
There are two bedroom windows, but one opens right above the hot tub, and one is also covered by snow.

Well it depends how heavy you are and what type of snow.

I suppose rope is inaccessible…

Anyone else thinking of the Mythbusters jailbreak episode?

I would shove a mattress out the window then aim to land on that in a spread-out fashion. Then I would try to find my phone to call an ambulance chopper.

Does it make me a bad person for wanting her to try.?

I have jumped of single story roofs onto grass a ton of times. I was 15 at the time. If I did that now my bones would shatter.

@johnpowell I’m waiting till tomorrow, then I’ll do it. I’ve jumped off moving horses.. so I’m not too worried about 3 feet of snow.

This should go well. Keep us posted!

@rangerr – I hear Obama-care is great. Be sure to give us details as to how long the line is in the ER.

I repeat. I jump off moving horses.

@rangerr – Why? Most people make an effort to stay on them.

@Corporate_Avenger I’m a trick rider.

@rangerr – OMG…you’re a prostitute??? (wink, wink)

@Corporate_Avenger….....

@rangerr – 0_o

Oh hell… I want to try this.

If tomorrow you report that you’re still alive, maybe I’ll give it a go. (That is, if there’s enough snow. It’s snowing now, about 2 inches so far, but it’s supposed to continue all night long.)

@petethepothead I’ve got about 32 inches of snow, and it’s still going.

@petethepothead – Pete, if you ain’t got two feet, you ain’t got a chance. Happy landings. Try to land on your side, broken collar bones heal quicker than broken legs, but broken ribs are a REAL bitch. Have fun.

@Corporate_Avenger You are a serious mood kill. On every thread. What is your issue?

@rangerr I was in the middle of sipping tea while I read read your quip and when I snorted I poured tea down the front of my shirt

@rangerr – I’m sorry if you took the prostitute thing seriously. It was meant as a joke, that’s why I put the (wink, wink) in there. I would never presume to call someone that as a serious thing. I apologize, sincerely.

@Corporate_Avenger Not what I was referring to. It was more to your response to Pete.

@rangerr – Again, meant to be kinda tongue in cheek. I’ve done some silly things, broken some bones because of it. Me personally, I wouldn’t jump out of a window unless the house was on fire or I was being chased by Freddie Kreuger, but hey…to each their own. @petethepothead – If I offended you, sorry. The advice is still sound.

@Corporate_Avenger Hey- did anyone tell you yet about the tilde? It is how we mark humor or sarcasm on Fluther and it rocks!

As an example:

~ I am totally going to jump off my roof right now!
(this is a joke because I live in Los Angeles and it is dry and hot.)

Anyway- I wish there was snow here because it would be a blast to try it! (no tilde here- I would do it!)

At any rate, I said “about 2 inches so far, but it’s supposed to continue all night long. Now we have about 8 inches, and it’s still falling steadily .

@Dog – Thanks for the spiritual enlightenment.

~I am now going to go slit my wrists for being such a douche.

You mean like that?

@Corporate_Avenger Funny- yeah. If you already knew my apologies.

I lived!

I didn’t

Yay! Success!

How did you get back in?

I threw a shovel out first then tunneled out the front door.

Clever!

She’s quite the clever cookie! :D

3.5ft snow drift, simple.
