100 feet is a number most people can fall without dying, but people have survived falls of much greater distance. In WWII people fell out of planes flying as high as 22,000 feet with no parachute and have survived.

∙ 15y agoRain always falls from a heighth. It reaches a steady fall rate after about twelve seconds, and being pretty small and light, its terminal velocity is pretty low.
The real annoyance is for us skydivers who fall faster than the rain and fall on the pointy ends.

∙ 11y agoYou may or may not be killed when you hit the water from 75 feet up. Some divers can make a 75-foot dive safely, but if you fall flat and get the wind knocked out of you and become unconscious, you might drown. It is also possible that you could land feet first and sustain only minor injuries, or that you could land "wrong" and break your neck, killing you more or less instantly. There are a number of variables, and you'd have to address them (as they were not specified in the question).
For comparison purposes, the record for a successful high dive into water is somewhere around 175 feet (almost 54 meters).

What causes the water to hurt when you fall from a long distance?
The same reason a slap would hurt you. You are being "hit" by the water at a high speed.
Does a person falling from great heights die when they hit the ground or before impact?
When you hit the ground. While they are falling they are in the air, and falling in and of itself will not kill you. The impact will always kill you -- unless you have a heart attack during the fall.
What happens when you get hit by Cupid's arrows?
you fall in love
What will happen to a stone dropped from the roof of a single story building to the surface of the earth?
The stone would fall straight down from the release point, it would fall with steadily increasing speed, and when it hit the ground, it would stop falling. The rate at which its speed increased during the fall would be 32.2 feet per second faster every second.
Why does the dust particles of a carpet fall down when we hit the carpet with stick?
Its usually called gravity. It makes you fall down too.
What is the minimum distance to fall and die?
the minimum distance to fall and die would be standing on the ground, but it really depends on how you fall and what you hit. If you hit your head hard enough you could die from standing on the ground.
Why would you use feet first entry into deep water?
If you dive in, you could hit a protrusion or debris underwater and break your neck... and die or be paralyzed.
If you fall from an airplane to the ocean will you die?
Probably. Water can be very 'hard' when hit from a large height. Professional divers in high dive contests have to have water that is agitated to provide enough softness to be able to hit the water safely. Once you hit terminal velocity, 117 to 125 miles an hour, water is not going to be a big help. The water doesn't move out of the way fast enough to be much help in cushioning the fall. It is pretty much like hitting concrete.
How do people die when they skydive?
they mostly just hit the ground or water because there parachute and emergency parachute did not deploy you could also have a heart attack in mid fall.
What can be done if you fall and hit your head on your company's property?

Can you jump 300 feet into water and live?
People have experienced cliff diving from about 50 feet into water. A persons body is sore after a jump like this because water is a hard hit the higher up you are. Jumping into water from 300 feet has an unlikely survival rate.
Where do wells get their water from?
It depends entirely on what the water table is, where you want to dig the well. In areas with a lot of subterrainian granite, you could dig 750 feet before you hit water. In other areas, you might only have to go 90 feet to hit water. It all depends on the kind of base is under the topsoil.
What causes the water to hurt when you fall from a long distance?
The same reason a slap would hurt you. You are being "hit" by the water at a high speed.
