A woman once jumped off the 86th floor of the Empire State Building, and luckily she LIVED.

 In 1979,a 29-year old Elvita Adams jumped off of the observation tower on the 86th floor of the Empire State Building. she was lucky , a 30 mph gust of wind blew her straight back up and she landed on a ledge on the 85th floor. She suffered only a fractured hip, and a security guard promptly brought her back inside through a window. 

Adams: "I guess the good Lord didn't mean for me to die just yet."
