Can you live if you jump off the Statue of Liberty?
People have survived after falling from much higher heights, but I would not recommend trying it. Three people have fallen or jumped from the Statue of Liberty. Two of them survived. Frederick R Law became the first person to jump off the Statue of Liberty, doing so in February 1912. He gained permission from the of the army captain of Liberty Island prior to his jump. He leapt off the observation platform, 68m above the water, and used a parachute to land safely. A second jump occurred in May 1923. Ralph Gleason was in the crown when he exited one of the windows. According to a witness, he turned around, seeming to want to return, but then slipped, falling to his death. The last jump occurred in August 2001 when a French stuntman by the name of Thierry Devaux parasailed onto the Statue of Liberty. He intended to then bungee jump off the Statue, but after he jumped, his bungee cord became entangled in the torch of the gracious lady. Devaux hung from the torch for about half an hour, and following his rescue, he was arrested by the police.

What are the symbols of the Statue of Liberty?
Torch : The torch is the strongest symbol that Bartholdi incorporated into the Statue. In fact the Statue's real name reflects its true meaning: "Liberty Enlightening the World". Crown: The statue wears a crown with seven spikes. This represents the 7 seas and 7 continents of the world, re-enforcing the universal concept of liberty. Tablet: The Statue holds a tablet in her left hand. It is a book of law based on the founding principles of this nation, a nation based on law. Writing on the Tablet: The Statue's tablet contains writing on it. This was one of the last changes that Bartholdi made to the Statue. It was originally left blank. Bartholdi placed the date of America's independence on the tablet ( JULY IV MDCCLXXVI ). They are in roman numerals which are symbolic of law. Windows of the crown: ( 25 ) Represent the heaven's rays of light that shine over the 7 seas and continents. Shape of the Tablet: Do you know what the tablet's shape is called? It is a keystone. In architecture, a keystone is the stone which keeps the others together. Without it everything would fall apart. The keystone of this nation is the fact that it is based on law. Without law, freedom and democracy would not prevail. Sandals: The Statue of Liberty actually wears sandals. She is also not standing still. Even though the Statue stands on a pedestal, she is actually walking ahead moving forward. This goddess is lighting the path to freedom through peace, not violence. Her footwear also suggests her stature as a free person. Robe: The Statue of Liberty wears a free-flowing robe or stola, which powerfully refers to the Roman influence of the goddess "Libertas", which was worshipped by freed slaves. Broken Chains: Located at the Statue's feet symbolize the freedom that Lady Liberty has. It demonstrates that the Statue is free from slavery and bondage. Shields: Richard Morris Hunt made some representations in his pedestal design as well. He placed shields on each side of the pedestal symbolizing the states in the Union.
