Elvita Adams attempted suicide by jumping out the 86th floor of the Empire State Building. But , got blown back in a 85th floor ledge and survived, with only a broken hip.
Two people have survived jumps, in both cases by not managing to fall more than a floor: On December 2, 1979, Elvita Adams jumped from the 86th floor, only to be blown back onto a ledge on the 85th floor by a gust of wind and left with a broken hip.[45][46][47] On April 25, 2013, a man, who is presumed to have jumped, fell from the 86th floor observation deck but landed alive on an 85th floor ledge – where security guards managed to bring him inside; he suffered only minor injuries.[48] @Curionic
