How many feet up is that? About 10-12? I bet you could expect to break or at least sprain your ankle. However if you increase it to 20 feet, then I can answer from personal experience....I broke three bones in my left ankle, seven bones in my right foot, my pelvis in two spots, and L3,L4 and L5 in my back. So, the moral is, don't fall 20 feet. Any higher than 20 feet and your chances of living are right around 5%.
