https://kristv.com/news/2019/05/07/...h-potentially-life-threatening-injuries/

An 18-year-old man survived an 11-story fall last night, but police say he’s still in the hospital.

Police say the man was with a group of people inside a room at the Omni Hotel on Shoreline.

The 18-year-old man, who police say was intoxicated, fell from the 11th floor.

He hit a tarp and some plexiglass and that may have helped break his fall.

The unidentified man was taken to the hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries.

Police say a criminal mischief charge is pending because of damage to the inside of the hotel room.

MAY have helped break his fall? Whats the terminal velocity of a human body before it hits concrete?

It's not he terminal velocity of a body as it hits concrete that matters; it's the sudden stop! smile

The guy falls from an 11th floor window suffering life-threatening injuries and they charge him with criminal mischief.

How do you figure the deceleration from the tarp and the plexiglass?
What would be that value, in fps?

there was a girl who fell off the 8th floor balcony of a hotel out on north beach several years ago, she was able to walk away with just bruises, sand cushioned her fall.

No, Concrete is very efficient in breaking falls. In fact it breaks the fall immediately.
