Can you jump off the Mackinac Bridge and live?

Jumping off the Mackinac Bridge would likely result in death due to the high speed of impact with the water. The Mackinac Bridge is approximately 200 feet (61 meters) above the water at its highest point. Terminal velocity for a human body in free fall is approximately 120 miles per hour (193 kilometers per hour). This means that a person jumping from the bridge would reach a speed of 120 miles per hour before hitting the water. The impact would be similar to hitting a concrete wall at that speed, causing severe injuries or death.
