What is the maximum height a human can fall and survive?
Great question!
The answer is that nobody really knows. There is a tale of a tail-gunner in a Lancaster bomber who fell 6,000 meters (maybe) without a parachute, but dressed cold-weather flight gear, and landed in heavy snow and pine trees. He survived with merely a broken back.
Much depends on how you are dressed, what you land on, and the landing position. A t-shirt and shorts on concrete? Probably 30 meters, if you know how to land. Maybe 15 meters if you land badly; one meter if you land really really badly.
Check out the article linked below for information on how to to increase ones chances.

All life on earth is adapted to a day/night cycle. Further, all life on earth is ultimately dependent on plant life, and plant life is dependent on sunlight. Were no sunlight to reach earth due to thick ash clouds or something else obscuring sunlight, plants would die, herbivores would die and finally carnivores would die. There would be no food for humans to survive on, except for fungi which are not dependent on light.

What should you do when attacked by a bear?
What do you do in the rare case you are being attacked by a bear? Fight back. Predators do not attack out of anger, and they are always careful to avoid injury. Unlike what you may have heard, play dead only in the even rarer case of being attacked by an angry mother. She is acting out of instinct, she perceives you as a threat to her cubs.
For any other reason, a confrontation with a bear should be handled with a great deal of noise and threatening action. This will end the "attack" quickly with the bear leaving for safer grounds. See link below for more information.
