Cos you always hear stories about people who jump after elevators crash and live, and tales of people who fall out of their bedroom window and die instantly.

it depends on where you fall, orientation of fall , no hard and fast rule however people can survive may be approx 75 feet if they land properly with all the bones of legs gone ~above that height even legs can't take it and everything will break including spine

It varies from these factors: weight, height of the building or something
because we all know that the acceleration due to gravity is constant at 9.8 m/s2 and could me increase by increasing the mass of a certain substance (newtons law of motion the acceleration one)
this factors would predict the survival rate or fatality rate of the peson who jump
