If you take the current out of the picture. No current. The world record high jump is over 190 feet.
25

Why don't you try it and report back your findings to the OT?

I know there have been a fair share of people who have jumped. Does anyone know of anyone who has survived?

I bet SWB $20 she wouldn't jump off the bridge but unfortunately she did not accept

a guy survived going over in his 18 wheeler cab. I am a good swimmer I just think the impact is what would kill you so I think chances of surviving are higher with the river high

What's the height of the "New" Horace Wilkinson Bridge?
ETA: With a quick google search, I have found the answer

if the guy is about 200 lbs, then his terminal velocity is about 72 mph. Survival? nope

Early 2000s a guy jumped off the Crescent City Connection in NOLA and survived. I heard his skin was lobster red from his arse to his shoulders.

Only if they wear a mask while jumping
