Ouch...

If you are going to jump out of the 8th floor of Ballantine Hall... don't land feet first on the canopy over the North entrance. That turns an 8 floor fall into a 6 floor fall and everyone knows that is only going to break every bone below your waist. Instead dive... head first and its all over! No Pain... just a splat.
